About this Event

A coterie of people meeting to socialise and share the craft of poetry. Join us for this pilot series of structured talks, workshops and meet-and-greets with guest poets including Deb Alma, Nicky Kippax, Jazmine Linklater and Oliver Lewis.

Hosted by Becca Drake and Chloe Hanks.

On 26th June, we are joined by Becca Drake, who will be kicking off the series with a talk and mini workshop on coastal poetics.

Becca is a poet-researcher based in York. Their work focuses on East Coast environmental histories and literature. Becca was poet-in-residence at the Hull Maritime Museum (2021), publishing their chapbook 'The Maritime Museum & the City' in 2023 (Thin Ice Press). 'Unstill Landscapes' was published by Guillemot Press in 2025. Becca is also the founder of Little Hirundine, a small press experimenting in printmaking and material poetics.
