Poetry reading at Woodstock Town Hall, U.K 12 Nov 2017

A bright, beautiful and chilly Sunday! We headed out to Oxford by train as I'd been invited to read some poems at Woodstock town hall at a reading organised by poet and professor Jenny Lewis. The headliner was exiled Iraqi poet Adnam Al-Sayegh, it was great to see him again. I read at the beginning of the second half, my poem Ocean and then Fifth Circle Hell. There were about 30 other poets that read and I really enjoyed the variety of different lines and phrases from each poet. The town hall was such a majestic setting for the, surrounded by the red autumn leaves. I look forward to returning to Oxford and Woodstock to do more readings, I'd definitely love to read with Jenny and Adnan again.

It was also the 4 year anniversary of my first ever poetry reading at Worlds End Bookshop, so it was special to mark it in this way.
