A warm welcome back to Grey Hen Press, whose beautiful anthologies showcase the wit and wisdom of older women poets. Pull up a chair around our virtual table as we celebrate National Poetry Day, with poems exploring the natural world.
From weird and wonderful creatures, to the gentle buzz of honeybees, to the flutter of birds’ wings, we’ll have poems to soothe your soul and inspire change.
We’re sure there will be something for everyone, even if you don’t consider yourself a poetry fan!
Founded by Joy Howard in 2007, Grey Hen Press have published over 20 anthologies, which showcase the particularity of women’s voices, and give less well-known poets the opportunity of having their work published alongside that of established writers.
This is one of our ‘Take Part’ events this autumn! (‘Attend’ events mean you can listen or look in and enjoy the event with no pressure to join in, though there will likely be opportunities to chat too! ‘Take Part’ events involve a bit more activity or participation on your part, you are of course still welcome to do so as little or as much as you would like to.)
The event is free and for women only*. To attend, please book below and we will share an email invitation with you. If you would like to make a donation to Glasgow Women’s Library, you can do so here.
*All women-only events are inclusive of Trans and Intersex women, as well as non-binary and gender fluid people who are comfortable in a space that centres the experience of women.
This session takes place via an online video call link. If you would like to attend, please book below and we will share an email invitation along with simple and straight forward instructions on how this will work.
