Locust and Marlin launch

Not one but two chances to attend the launch of JL William's new book Locust and Marlin (Shearsman, 2014) : with support from poet Alasdair Paterson.

Locust and Marlin considers how "we tell our stories and locate the places where we live and love. ... In a world whose boundaries and pathways are increasingly difficult to define, how do we find our way home?"

The events take place in these venues at these times:

• London Tuesday, 18 February. at the Swedenborg Hall  from 7.30 p.m
• Edinburgh Thursday, 20 March 2014 at the Saltire Society from 7:00 p.m.

“The star of the evening was JL Williams, with a pitch-perfect delivery that had the audience hanging on every dreamy word.  Her poems were beautiful and mythic, conjuring evocative imagery that filled the room with magic.” Ever Dundas
