Writers share work
The next Settle Sessions evening of
short stories and poetry readings will be on Friday 5th September.
On
the programme is Settle Poet Jean Harrison and Patricia Pogson from
Cumbria.
Jean is one of the organisers of this
series of evenings designed to present writings in a relaxed and
convivial style at The Folly in Settle. She has two collections of
poetry published with a novel due out next year. A retired teacher,
Jean lived and work for a number of years in Africa, and has been
making her progress up the country from Exeter via several places and
is now settled in North Yorkshire.
Patricia
Pogson lives in Staveley in Cumbria. Her work appears in many
anthologies and she has six collections of poems published. She has
won numerous poems, but can't remember all of them! She has run The
Brewery Poets based at The Brewery Arts Centre in Kendal for some
years. Her writing has a down to earth approach, showing life as it
is lived, but often with a twist that makes the reader sit up and
think.
There
will also be a chance for local writers and poets to read their own
and others' work in the "Read Two" slot. Sarah
Littlefeather is coming from the Ulverston area while John Rose, Joan
Lee and Olwyn Bolger live in Settle.
The
evening takes place at The Folly in Settle at 7.30pm. Tickets (£6,
£5.50 members) are available from Cave and Crag as well as 01729
823305. More details from info@settlesessions.co.uk
