The May meeting presents the results of our own Folio competition with a reading by the judge, Tamar Yoseloff. Please note that the May meeting will be one week earlier than usual, on Tuesday May 8th, (which is the second Tuesday of the month) – 7:45 for an 8pm start, at the usual place, upstairs at the Vittle & Swig on Camden Road. It would be great to see as many members as possible so that those whose poems have been selected can read them at the meeting. After the folio announcements and adjudication report, there will be a reading of Tamar’s own work.
