Poetry in Herons: Kate Noakes

We are delighted to launch Kate Noakes’ latest collection, Sublime Lungs

Please join us for a drink, a poetry reading and book signing in celebration of Kate’s new book.

In Sublime Lungs Kate Noakes turns her attention to the breath. For the first time, she explores her lifelong asthma and explains the impact of this chronic and disabling condition. The breath and breathing are subjects for poems from many chronologies and geographies in this her ninth collection.

Kate Noakes is the author of nine collections of poetry, one pamphlet and one book of non-fiction. She has a PhD in Critical and Creative Writing from the University of Reading. She recently moved from London home to Bristol, where she co-founded the poetry performance group, Braid. She was elected to the Welsh Academy of Letters in 2011 and her website (www.boomslangpoetry.blogspot.com) is archived by the National Library of Wales.

The event is free but please let us know that you are coming so that we can provide a seat and a drink. RSVP to read@heronbooks.co.uk.
