Open mic & celebration of the launch of
Alistair Noon and CJ Allen’s new Nine Arches Press poetry collections.
Alistair Noon was born in 1970 and grew up
in Aylesbury. Besides time spent in Russia and China, he has lived in Berlin
since the early nineties, where he works as a translator. His poetry and
translations from German and Russian have appeared in nine chapbooks from small
presses. Earth Records is his first full-length collection.
Robert Richardson: as well as appearing in
CCC's Hearing Voices, he has been published in Agenda poetry magazine and also
co-edited Homage to Imagism (AMS Press, New York). As a visual artist, he was
recently included in Artists’ Postcards: A Compendium (Reaktion Books, London).
C J Allen’s prize-winning poetry (in the
Arvon, Yorkshire, Lebdury, Ilkley, Ware, Nottingham & English Association
competitions, amongst others) has been appearing in magazines & anthologies
in the UK, USA, Ireland & elsewhere for what feels to him like hundreds of
years. His most recent collections are: A Strange Arrangement: New and
Selected Poems (Leafe Press, 2007), & Lemonade (a red ceilings press
e-book, 2010). Violets – winner of the Templar Press Short Collection
Competition – was published in November 2011. He currently edits the reviews
pages of the literary magazine Staple.
