Writers Kingston returned for it’s fifth year of events with the launch of a brand new anthology, published by Kingston University Press, in the beautiful environs of the Town House building’s Courtyard venue.

“From stitches to typesetting, beeswax to periodic tables, handwritten abstraction to puzzling collages, this anthology amazes, amuses, and articulates ambiguity with a precision only visual poetry can. It is a book made of poems alive even before they’re read, remaking visible language before the viewers very eyes.”
With readings and performances by Chris Kerr, Rushika Wick, Susie Campbell, Simon Tyrrell, Richard Biddle, Paul Hawkins, Vicki Kaye, Martin Wakefield, Madelaine Culver, David Hayward and SJ Fowler.
