Emma will be joined by Jenny Mitchell (Time and Tide, whose idea it was). Michelle Penn (Dusk, Noon, Time and Tide), Shamini Sriskandarajah (Story Cities), Claire Booker (Time and Tide), Laila Sumpton (Dusk, Noon) and Sarah Lawson (The Other Side of Sleep, Vindication, Departures), and there will be an open mic session, and very possibly cake.

The notional theme is women on the move, but this is being widely interpreted.

Tickets by donation to cover travel expenses for the readers.

Vindication review in The Lake

Brilliant review  of Vindication over on The Lake, from Hannah Stone:

Perhaps what resonates most from this collection is that whatever the subject matter, Wollstonecraft’s exhortation has been heeded throughout: ‘Women – endeavour to acquire/strength, both of mind and body,/ soft phrases, susceptibility/ of heart, delicacy of sentiment…’.

New review of Vindication on London Grip

Over on London Grip Carla Scarano has reviewed Vindication at length  https://londongrip.co.uk/2019/02/vindication/

a compelling collection… captivating prosody… sharp irony … fresh, thought-provoking… clear riveting lines…  The poems collected in the anthology form an absorbing analysis condensing some major issues in the vindication of women’s rights since Mary Wollstonecraft. They are a tribute commemorating women’s past sufferings and perseverance, and they point to present commitment to an ongoing fight.
