POETRY ISLAND ftr – LUCY LEPCHANI

Host Ian Beech will be delighted to introduce April’s headliner, our very own Lucy Lepchani, supported by a full cast of talented performance poets from across the South West.Lucy is quite simply one of Devon’s finest performance poets. A regular at Poetry Island and countless events across the South West and well beyond, she wows audiences wherever she appears.Widely published in magazines and anthologies, Lucy’s first full collection, Ladygardens, published by Burning Eye Books, is a real delight:’Passionate and playful, angry and amazed, wistful and wayward, Ladygardens showcases Lucy’s love of life and language.’ – Matt Harvey
‘This is a book that veers between the personal and the political, the philosophical and the familiar; that meanders from sweetness to satire to the smartly absurd, and back again. This is a book with heart, mind, and soul, in equal measure, and it will make you laugh, think, and feel, all at the same time. A highly recommended read from an astonishingly clear voice.’ – Mab Jones

‘…brightly illuminated language and tender attentiveness to the world… and a great deal of humour’ – Andrew Motion

Doors open 7.30pm Show starts 8:00pm Tickets £6.00 – reserve your seat by contacting Ian via email: ianbeechpoetry@btinternet.com
