Join us for an evening of poetry celebrating new books, new poems, and the ongoing  experiment/elasticity of language.

Kathrine Sowerby lives in Glasgow and is author of chapbooks Unnecessarily Emphatic and Tired Blue Mountain (Red Ceilings Press), a collection of novellas The Spit, the Sound and the Nest (Vagabond Voices), poetry collections that bird loved (Hesterglock Press), House However (Vagabond Voices) and (Find Yourself) at Constant Falls (Blue Diode Press), and a collection of writing and drawing called Tutu (Dostoyevsky Wannabe).

Cécile Segura collects seashells that she gives as love language. She favours physically cutting and glueing verses of memory her dissociative alters collect for each other. She has been sporadically published in Möbius zine, in residency at the Glasgow School of Art, and funded by the Lesbians of Public Interest. @letthemothunfold
