Sunday 15 March – 5:00pm
ALAN PRICE, reading from his new book, EVIDENCE OF WAR: A RESPONSE TO GAZA.
Alan Price was prompted to compose these poetic responses on hearing in February 2025 of the ghoulish proposal by Trump and Netanyahu to supplant the diminished Palestinian population of Gaza with a ‘real estate’ colony, a Riviera built on the foundations of the rubble-buried bones of tens of thousands of Gazans.
Alan Price lives in London. He is a poet, scriptwriter, short story writer, film critic for filmuforia.co.uk and blogger on WordPress.
M STASIAK, reading from her new book, FACE IT.
Face It asks us to take an unflinching but compassionate look at everything we’ve made and everything that has made us, as we struggle through the constraints of our own nature, continually seeking our own selves and ‘something that looks like home’.
M. Stasiak grew up in Newfoundland and now lives and works in London. Her work has been published in magazines including Magma, The Rialto, Brittle Star, Interpreter’s House, Envoi, Urthona, Iota, Poetry Salzburg Review, The North, Long Poem Magazine and Shearsman.
Face It is her first full collection, following The Chapbook, Enchant / Extinguish.
Tickets: Full price: £12, concessions £10 (incl. booking fees)

The world changes: we make new poetry to vandalise literary forms or retrieve those we need to renew. We make new poetry to hybridise new species of understanding and reframe consciousness. We make new poetry to have a good time.
Readings, recitations, incantations and events from established and upstart poets, word artists, ranters, spell-casters, rappers……and you if you want.
