Hi all!
We hope you enjoyed your break over the summer (despite the heatwaves) and you’re ready for a lovely autumn and winter ahead of us.
We’re back to announce our next major poet reading and meet-up, featuring Vanessa Lampert. As always, we’ll be meeting at the Royal Wells Hotel, starting at 8pm with an Open Mic (one poem per reader, max 40 lines), followed by our guest poet.
Please don’t forget that entry is free for members of the Kent & Sussex Poetry Society, and it’s £3 on the door for any non-members. Please don’t hesitate to bring anyone who might be interested!
Vanessa Lampert is an acupuncturist, writer and editor from Oxfordshire. Her pamphlet On Long Loan was published by Live Canon in 2020, and her collection of poems Say It With Me was published by Seren Books in 2023. She holds an MA in Writing Poetry from Poetry School London and Newcastle University. Since 2019 she has won the Café Writers prize, the Edward Thomas prize, the Sentinel prize and the Ver Poetry prize twice, and placed in many others including second in the Fish, Yeovil, Oxford Brookes, Ware, and Kent & Sussex prizes.

See you all on Tuesday!
