Poetry at Books and Beans

Last night we launched our first pamphlet and I have to say it went swimmingly well. Books and Beans was packed out, Bill read his poem very succesfully - the audience was on tenterhooks for most of it - and we had some great guest appearances. Couldn't have hoped for a better start to our publishing adventure, so thanks to everyone who came along and made it such a memorable evening.

Launch Night for The Quait Chiel

It's a great pleasure to be able to say that on Thursday 26th September we'll finally release The Quait Chiel, Bill Thom's first (and rather superb!) poetry pamphlet.

We're launching it at the regular Poetry at Books and Beans night in Aberdeen, which happens on the last Thrusday of every month. It's a great regular fixture in the Aberdeen poetry scene so we're very pleased to take Bill's pamphlet along to it.

They've been good enough to make a special Doric evening out of the event; alongside Bill we'll have readings from the legendary Douglas Kynoch, as well as the excellent Grainne Smith. We'll also get the pleasure of music from Louise Counsell on top of as the usual open mic, so it promises to be a quality evening.

See you there!
