Offcumdens

Exciting news! Our book Offcumdens, a collection of 41 black and white photographs of Yorkshire by Bob Hamilton paired with my poems, was published by Fair Acre Press on 17th March 2022. Read more about our project here:

We had a splendid book launch at The Leeds Library on Thursday 17th March. James Nash made Bob and I feel at ease and Helen Mort Zoomed in to read some of her latest work as sadly she was unable to come in person. We had an appreciative audience of over 60 people who bought both the paperback and hardback editions of Offcumdens. Many thanks to all of you for your enthusiasm.

The exhibition of Bob’s photographs from Offcumdens paired with my poems was at the Western Gallery, Manor House Museum, Ilkley on Sat 26th -Sun 27th March 2022. We had a good audience for the poetry event hosted by James Nash (again) with readings by myself and the Wharfedale Poets. Thanks very much to all who came and particularly to James who has been so supportive and enthusiastic as well as a brilliant interviewer.
