A very special event to mark National Poetry Day this year with the inaugural winner of the John O'Connor first book award launching with readings and a panel featuring the three shortlisted writers in conversation with Erik Kennedy.
Presented by Sudden Valley Press and Canterbury Poets Collective in association with National Poetry Day, join the poets and Erik to celebrate the launch of My Thoughts Are All of Swimming by inaugural winner, Rose Collins.
Along with Jeni Curtis and Ciaran Fox, Rose Collins was chosen for the shortlist by judge, former poet laureate Elizabeth Smither who described the winning manuscript as a: 'highly accomplished, beautifully ordered collection of consistently stunning poems'.
Join all three as they discuss the award experience, writing and probably much more with matchless raconteur and writer Erik Kennedy.
