Events: Eleanor Rees poetry launch

ORGANISERS: Guillemot Press
Date: 5th May 2022
Time: 7:00 pm
Venue: online

To herald in the coming of the sun, Guillemot are thrilled to be launching Eleanor Rees’ fifth poetry collection Tam Lin of the Winter Park and Peter Larkin’s sequence sounds between trees. We’re delighted to be joined by Jos Smith, whose poetry pamphlet Sun was published by Guillemot in 2017.

Tam Lin of the Winter Park is Eleanor Rees’s fifth poetry collection, following The Well at Winter Solstice (Salt, 2019), Blood Child (Pavilion, 2015), Eliza and the Bear (Salt, 2009), and Andraste’s Hair (Salt, 2007), which was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection. She is the recipient of an Eric Gregory Award, an Irish Glen Dimplex New Writers’ Award and a Northern Writers’ Award, and a senior lecturer at Liverpool Hope University.

Peter Larkin’s more recent poetry collections include Introgression Latewood (2017), Trees Before Abstinent Ground (2019) and Encroach to Resume (2021), all published by Shearsman. In 2020 Guillemot published Seven Leaf Sermons in response to the paintings of Rupert Loydell. A symposium on Peter’s work was held at Warwick University in 2018.

Jos Smith is a poet, essayist and associate professor of contemporary literature at UEA. He works on the relationship between literature and the environmental movement and has published work on nature writing, poetry and ecology, the literature of the coast, and the arts and environmental charity Common Ground. His first collection of poems, Subterranea, was published by Arc Publications in 2015 and his pamphlet Sun was published by Guillemot Press in 2017. He is currently trying to write a book of ‘speculative nature writing’.

Please note, on the night the event will be limited to 100 people, so please arrive in plenty of time to avoid disappointment.
