Saturday 11.00 am – 1.00 pm

Main Reading with Dean Parkin and Wayne Holloway-Smith

Castle Green Hotel – Kendal Suite

£8

Wayne Holloway-Smith’s first full-length collection Alarum (Bloodaxe, 2017) veers between hilarity and tragedy, with real inventiveness and adventure.  It is a vital and necessary exploration of masculinity and the working class. Dean Parkin is a ‘natural born storyteller’ (The Scotsman) and is well-known for engaging performances of his work.  His first full-length collection The Swan Machine was published by The Rialto in 2016. Members of Dove Cottage Young Poets will also perform during this event.

If you haven’t picked up your tickets before the day, please head straight to the venue with ID for event entry.
