Good afternoon!
Vice-chair Janice Warman’s debut poetry collection has just been published by the award-winning Fly on the Wall Press. If you’re interested in grabbing a copy, visit the website here: https://www.flyonthewallpress.co.uk/product-page/these-are-the-things-we-have-lost
In her debut poetry collection, These Are the Things We Have Lost, Janice Warman chronicles a journey from her South African childhood to the landscapes of motherhood with unflinching honesty. From pregnancy ‘high on hormones and Pellegrino’, to second weddings, these poems capture intimate moments of love and loss.
With a journalist’s precision and a poet’s sensitivity, Warman’s voice moves between continents and decades. A celebration of life’s joys and an elegy for what inevitably slips through our grasp.
If you would like to attend the official launch, it is this Friday evening at Station Books in the High Street, Tunbridge Wells. You can purchase a ticket here: https://www.tixtree.com/e/janice-warman-these-are-the-things-we-have-lost-88d812915986
Congratulations to Janice, and we hope to see some of you there tomorrow.
