fathers' day - in conversation
In this special event for Father's Day, local writers Ashley Hickson-Lovence and James McDermott will be in conversation about how writing helped them celebrate, memorialise and grieve their fathers in their respective poetry collections 'Why I Am Not A Bus Driver' (Bad Betty Press) and 'Father Myself' (Nine Arches Press). The event will be followed by an audience Q&A and a book signing.
