Christopher Reid, Róisín Tierney and Martina Evans outside the corporate HQ of Rack Press in Powys |
There was a great turnout for the Rack Press reading in the church of St Michael, Discoed, Powys on Saturday 13th April. The church was full and the poets were on top form: Rosalind Hudis, Angela Topping, Nicholas Murray, Christopher Reid, Róisín Tierney, and Martina Evans all read to a very appreciative audience and there was a party afterwards at The Rack, the Radnorshire cottage which is the home of Rack Press. Never have so many poets assembled under that roof!
The Irish poets on the bill said that the drizzly but warmer spring day we had would have been called in Ireland: 'a nice soft day'. And so it was.
