NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE: Valley Press Fest
Tuesday, 27th March, 2012, 6pm-8pm, £2
Lit & Phil,
Westgate Road,
Newcastle
Tickets can be bought on the door or online, and include a free drink. For full details, visit: http://www.valleypressuk.com/vpfest
The event will feature readings from six remarkable writers. 'VP Fest' veterans Jo Brandon, Steve Rudd and Norah Hanson, fresh from appearances at the two preceding events, will read a variety of work from their recent books – Jo's pamphlet-length debut Phobia, Norah's poetry masterpiece Love Letters & Children's Drawings, and Steve's epic travelogue Pulse. They will be joined by Jo Reed and Helen Burke, both former Newcastle students, whose poetry collections Stone Venus and The Ruby Slippers were published by Valley Press in June 2011.
Plus, we're delighted to introduce a special guest; Newcastle poet (and Lit & Phil employee) Cara Brennan, whose as-yet-unnamed debut pamphlet is set to be published by Valley Press in September 2012. Cara will be trying out some material from this highly-antipated publication, which will be available for pre-order on the night at a discount.
The event will be hosted by VP's Editor-in-Chief (and dynamic frontman) Jamie McGarry, and should be a night to remember. We hope to see you there!

NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE: What Are They Whispering?
Wednesday, 1st November, 2011
Northern Stage,
Northern Stage,
Newcastle upon Tyne
What Are They Whispering? – a poetry show
Power. Who has it, who wants it, who tries
to take it from you? The poets know.
What Are They Whispering? is a poetry show
to nudge you or urge you to weigh up the balance of power in your own life. The
dynamic trio of poets whose work will charge you up is Imtiaz Dharker, Joe Dunthorne and John Stammers. They perform a hand-picked selection of their poems
about power in both its rawest and most subtle states. Poems and ideas are
enhanced and amplified with lighting and sound; every spoken word special
effect from a whisper to a chorus, every lighting state from a firefly glimmer
to a thunderbolt.
Directed by Phoebe Stout
Produced by Jaybird
