Winners
of the Geoff Stevens Memorial Prize Julie Maclean ( When I saw Jimi ) and Terry
Quinn ( The Amen of Knowledge ) launch their collections on the 8th June at The
Barlow Theatre. Julie lives on the Surf Coast, Australia but was born and grew
up in Bristol and this retrospective collection sparks through those times.
Terry lives in Preston, Lancashire and his everyday language covering ordinary
subject matters have a subtext which has become the hallmark of his
poetry.
Together they will attempt to find common ground when they tackle similar issues from their books but will also read separately and there will be open mic slots throughout the afternoon.
The prize was instigated by Indigo Dreams Publishing in commemoration of Geoff Stevens, editor of Purple Patch ( national treasure, the Guardian ) Black Country poet and artist and after a break for refreshments Geoff’s poetry and artwork will be on display with selections from his poetry being read. There will also be an open mic for his poet friends to add to their memories with poetry readings.
The event starts at 2-00pm (doors open at 1-00pm) with the evening session beginning at 7-00pm.
