Jonathan Humble is one of my favorite contemporary poets; a true master of the craft. I am super excited for the release of his book and for this reading!!!
Hello Poetry World.
On Friday 31st July 2020, at 7:00 pm (18:00 GMT) I will be reading a few poems selected from my collection Fledge, which is being published by Maytree Press on the same day.
This reading will be on Facebook live and is available to watch for free.
If you’d like to watch and don’t mind being pestered to buy a copy (£7.50 to include P.&P. but no obligation to buy of course) then you would be more than welcome to drop in. The Facebook link is below …
Cheers
Jonathan 🙂 x
