Book Launch!!

Colin Watts, our October guest, is launching his new collection (The Tree House Headland Press) at the Basement, Everyman Theatre, Hope St, L'pool on Monday, June 20th: 7- 10pm. All welcome. Anyone who's been to Dead Good Poets' nights will know this is their regular home. There will be music, poetry, and laughter. Mandy Coe is compering. It would be really great if a few Zesters would like to come and support this event.

Competition Judge

Dear Zesters!
Colin Watts, our guest poet for October's Zest! has kindly agreed to judge our mini-competition.

So do start bringing your 4-lines-only poems on 'Games' to Zest! Next one is Monday June 13th, when our guest is Gail Ashton.

Here's a brief quote from one of Gail's poems:

"an angel..
comes skidding down,
skirts flying up and mug in hand,
lights up a cigar.."

(From "Ghost Songs", published by Cinnamon Press)

See you all on the 13th June when Gill McEvoy will be hosting the night, and she looks forward to seeing each one of you again, and to hearing your poems!
