Contextual 35 – it was good to be back!

We held our 35th Contextual virtual poetry reading event yesterday. After quite a pause it was good to be back amongst friends again – friends who, it transpired, had really missed the sessions: “it’s great to be back”, “you’ve created a safe place to read”, “I’ve never come across a group like it”…

As ever, thanks to those who attended (we were at 23; not bad for a first time back) and to those – from the UK and the US – who shared their work with us:

  • Sam Aureli
  • Ama Bolton
  • Brian Docherty
  • Alison Hramiak
  • Carol Park
  • Jenna Plewes
  • Stephen Poole
  • Kate Swann
  • Anthony Watts
  • Keith Willson

I will be settling on readers for Contextual: 36 in the coming weeks, so watch out for news – and potentially an opportunity to read!
