The next Ouse Muse will be on Wednesday March 19th, when we are joined by guest poet Marianne Burton.
Marianne’s poems have been widely published in magazines and her first full collection appeared from Seren in 2013 to considerable critical acclaim. The book, She inserts the Key, has been shortlisted for the forward prize for best first collection of the year.
As usual we will wrap open mic slots around our guest reader, so there will be time to perform your own work, or indeed read the work of other poets. There will also be the usual convivial interval in which Marianne will be signing books.
8pm, in our usual venue,Harpurs Cellar (46-48 Tavistock St, Bedford, MK40 2RD) £2 for performers £3 for ‘just listening’.
I am a poet writing in a range of styles from performance-led to page-based and limerick to avant-garde.
