Round two from the student reading at Bath Brew House on 28 May, with the blurbs I wrote for each of their pamphlets.
"Sean Martin’s pamphlet Shrike gives animals from sea, land and sky their own distinctive
voices in a series of provocative and compelling monologues."
"In the ambitious pamphlet When I Was, Chloe Mayo intelligently and
insightfully explores an ambivalence at the heart of selfhood that manifests
both in our sense of ourselves as well as in our relationships with others."
"In Atlas’s richly nuanced poems, Tom Williams conveys the significance
of place—indeed, of inhabiting each place anew—throughout our lives."
"In
his well-nuanced pamphlet, Is This It?, Matthew
Leigh explores the psychological complexities of romantic relationships with
intelligence and tenderness."
"In this emotive and engaging pamphlet, Skeletons in the Closet, Jack Tinmouth powerfully
traces the discovery of sexuality from the purely physical, to the increasing
emotional freight of relationships, to romantic love."
An ideal night and hopefully a new tradition for the third-year poets at Bath Spa University!
