LONDON: Magma launch

The Troubadour,
263-267 Old Brompton Road
LONDON
SW5
nr. junct. Earls Court Rd & Old Brompton Rd

A major moment in the poetry season is when the latest Magma rolls off the presses, but a mega-moment in Magma's poetry-magazine history is when David Boll, who has MC'd hundreds of Magma contributors onto the Troubadour stage since Issue 13 in January 1999 and introduced dozens of guest poets, and well and truly launched 33 issues here, hosts his last launch as editorial committee chairman.

Helping celebrate this Magma milestone will be Magma 46 editors, Jacqueline Saphra and Norbert Hirschhorn, the regular Magma team, a wide selection of Magma 46 contributors and two guest poets:

Anne-Marie Fyfe (b. Cushendall, Co. Antrim, lives in London) who organises Coffee-House Poetry at the Troubadour readings and workshops, latest collection The Ghost Twin (Peterloo, 2005).

Penelope Shuttle (b. Feltham, lives in Falmouth) founder-member of the Falmouth Poetry Group - her 10th poetry collection, including a Selected, is Redgrove's Wife (Bloodaxe, 2006)
