Poetry in Herons: Deborah Harvey

Poetry in Herons returns!

For our April monthly poetry reading, we are delighted to welcome Deborah Harvey.

Free entry. Come for the poetry. Stay for the poetry.

Arrive at 5pm. We’ll offer you something fizzy. Usually a drink but perhaps one day it will be a sherbet fountain.

5.10-5.40ish, we’ll enjoy some poetry.

5.40-6pm, finish the fizzy things and perhaps buy the poet’s books.

Some seating. Some standing. Get in touch with us about any requirements you may have.

It is free and unticketed but it would help if you let us know that you are coming. RSVP to read@heronbooks.co.uk

Deborah Harvey was born in a Salvation Army hospital on Ashley Hill, and, apart from a doomed attempt to escape in the 1980s, has lived in the far north – that is, Filton – all her life. Deb works part time in a school for deaf children, part time as a support worker for one of her adult children who has autism, and part time as a poetry group facilitator. She co-runs Bristol’s longest-running open mic, Silver Street, and is a member of the IsamBards, a group of four poets who conduct poetry walks around Bristol. She has six collections of poetry and a novel, all published by Indigo Dreams. Her latest collection, Love the Albatross, came out in 2024 and is a favourite of Heron Books’.
In her spare time, Deb loves reading poetry and wandering about a bit with her collie, Cwtch.
