POPULAR poetry evenings are being relaunched at Haworth.
Sessions will begin again on Wednesday, April 5, following a hugely successful 2022 season.
And launching the new series is award-winning Alison Binney, from Cambridge.
She will read from her collection, Other Women’s Kitchens, which earned her a Mslexia women’s poetry prize.
The event takes place in The Book Cellar, the basement space at Wave of Nostalgia bookshop, at 7pm.
Diane Park, owner of Wave of Nostalgia, says: "Alison is a great choice to launch our 2023 season.
"I really enjoy her poetry – it’s beautifully entertaining, pointedly political and often very funny. I’m sure the people who come along will love it too.
"Other Women’s Kitchens explores the challenges of discovering and owning a lesbian identity in the 1980s and 1990s and the joy of finding both love and increased confidence in that identity as an adult. It’s a mixture of the heart-wrenching and the humorous and features traditional narrative and compact prose poems."
Tickets for the event are £5, including a free drink.
They can be obtained from Wave of Nostalgia, in Main Street, or booked via waveofnostalgia.co.uk/event-tickets.
Other Women’s Kitchens is published by Seren Books, and retails at £5.
