The launch of Thirteen Poems of Revenge
Published on Thursday 16 February 2012
The evening of the 13th February saw the launch of Thirteen Poems of Revenge at Home Lounge Bar, Arnold. We were very pleased to see so many people turn out on a chilly Monday night for an evening of deliciously bitter poetry.
We got proceedings underway with a full read-through of the pamphlet. We were lucky enough to be joined by Robin Vaughan-Williams and Gregory Woods who read their own poems from the pamphlet, along with a few other poems. After a break we reconvened for a special revenge-themed Open Mic, featuring the likes of Niki Valentine, who found some very apt passages from her novels to read to us, and Julie Lumsden, who read a couple of her poems about vengeance in different forms.
Just to cleanse the bitter taste of revenge from our palates, we wrapped up the evening by giving our guests a little party bag containing a chocolate treat and a first edition of Ten Poems about Love to take home.
Thank you to all who came and made the evening so thoroughly enjoyable.

We will be holding a [...]
