Join us at @redlionbooks in Colchester for our PORT book launch on Wednesday 4th December at 6.30 pm with readings and refreshments. More than places where ships load and unload, ports are points of departure and arrival, places where ‘here’ contacts ‘there’, and where known and unknown meet. Port brings together a selection of prose and poetry about harbours and havens all across the UK and beyond, ranging from giant container ports to fishing quays in remote locations.
At our Colchester launch Martin Newell @cleanersfromvenus remembers The Beatles in Harwich, poet Alex Toms @languishingpoet introduces us to the merchant of dreams; Petra McQueen gives you a history of The Mersey; MW Bewick @mwbewick goes back home to Whitehaven and Ella Johnston @ellajohnstonart talks about gentrification of the Wenlock basin
It is a free event but spaces are limited so please reserve your seat by contacting Red Lion by phoning 01206 578584 or emailing us@redlionbooks.co.uk. *
