The Evening Party Release Announcement

I am beyond excited to present THE EVENING PARTY after three years of conversing, eavesdropping, collecting, listening and questioning, fantasising & reminiscing. then writing, editing, sleeping on it, editing some more.

THE EVENING PARTY is to be read in one go, on holiday, in a café watching people, at night before bed, a poem a day... however you feel like it. it follows no rules, is a collection of different minds and stories, clustered in the same small space like the rest of us.
