| Jean reads at a previous Settle Session |
Jean
Harrison from Settle, writes both prose and poetry. At Settle
Sessions she will be launching her first novel On
a wandering planet. On
the edge of sci-fi/fantasy, it focusses mainly on the story of a
woman lost in a strange universe, trying to come to terms with
herself, both helped and hindered by a chance encounter. It promises
to be a fascinating piece! Jean's poems have been widely published
and have been commended in competitions. Woman
on the moon was
short-listed for the Forward single poem prize. She has two
collections but at present is focussing on prose. She will be reading
from her new new novel
