New Poets 23 was officially launched at a great night on Monday 17 October 2022 at Halifax Cafe attended by about 35 people.
The launch celebrated the collective works of Stephy Kate Dewan (Little Closed Openings), Shaine Melrose (Shooting Words from my Soul) and Heather Nimmo (The Sun Came Up). The poets each read a selection of poems from their collections. Convenor Nigel Ford was the MC for the night with editor, Helen Hutton, launching the book. This year’s judge, Heather Taylor Johnson read her comments.
It was a fabulous evening and New Poets 23 is now available for purchase at $20 a copy at FSP events.
