We welcome Rishi Dastidar to read his poetry at a public meeting at 8 pm on Tuesday 18th June in Tunbridge Wells. The event will take place at the Royal Wells Hotel and will begin with an Open Mic session.
Rishi will read from his latest book, Neptune’s Projects (Nine Arches Press, 2023), “an extraordinary and fascinating deep dive into the underwater world that surrounds us and how our attitude and treatment of it reflects the extreme anxieties of our age” (Victoria Kennefick).
Rishi Dastidar’s poetry has been published by the Financial Times and BBC amongst many others. He is a fellow of The Complete Works, and a consulting editor at The Rialto magazine. A poem from his debut collection Ticker-tape was included in The Forward Book of Poetry 2018, and his second collection, Saffron Jack, was published in the UK by Nine Arches Press in 2020. He is also editor of The Craft: A Guide to Making Poetry Happen in the 21st Century (Nine Arches Press), and co-editor of Too Young, Too Loud, Too Different: Poems from Malika’s Poetry Kitchen (Corsair). His latest collection is Neptune’s Projects, also from Nine Arches Press (2023).
