Jonathan Edwards reads My Family and Other Superheroes

Cheltenham

7 September 2019

Time: 18:00-20:00pm

 

 

Acclaimed poet JONATHAN EDWARDS is author of the best-selling, Costa-Prize-winning My Family and Other Superheroes. His collection was described as 'Joyful and dynamic – a collection that’ll make you laugh and make you think' by  Costa Poetry Book Award Judges. His book Gen, which covers lions and rock stars, street parties and servants, postmen and voices, was called 'bold and sweeping’ by Ben Ray and 'a triumph' by The Yorkshire Times.

In the open mic, each poet will be allocated a 2-minute slot to read, which might be 2 or 3 short poems, or one long one. Priority in the open mic will be given to participants in the workshop led by Jonathan earlier in the day, or to poets who have booked in advance for this reading event. Anyone arriving on the night without a ticket will be asked to make a suggested donation of £4.

Whether those who arrive without a ticket can read in the open mic will depend on advance bookings

JOSEPHINE LAY, a superb local poet, will be reading with Jonathan Edwards at this event on September 7 at the Sober Parrot.
