My recent Zoom workshop raised half the funds I needed to be able to offer at least one completely FREE place for someone from an underrepresented/marginalised community who has never been on an Arvon residential and could never otherwise attend the Arvon residential course I am co-tutoring in January. To raise the other half before the end of October, thanks to the incredible generosity of my poetry publisher, Jane Commane at Nine Arches Press, and Kym Deyn of The Braag Press (also the midweek guest on the upcoming Arvon course), I have two sets of book bundles for you: 9 Mystery Book Bundles, each of which will contain a selection of TEN Nine Arches poetry books (and, sometimes, books on poetry & writing), and 4 bundles of all SIX of the The Braag’s current pamphlets + a lino print of the Braag logo! Both of these are on offer to UK addresses only, shipping is free. This is a fantastic chance to boost your library, finding new favourite writers you may never have read before – and give literary gifts to those who really could do with new reading material – and who couldn’t!?! Grab one from my online shop before they sell out, and help me reach my goal! If you’d like to make a donation instead, you’ll find my PayPal tip jar here, and everything donated will go straight into the fundraising pot. Thank you in advance, this is really important to me:
If you’d like to find out more about the 5-day Arvon residential writing course 18-23 Jan 2027, the theme is “Queer & Queering Poetic Forms”. More details here: https://www.arvon.org/writing-courses/courses-retreats/residential-writing-course-poetry-22/.
