Our next Needlewriters evening will be on Thursday 6th October 2022. In a change to the previously advertised line-up, it will feature Neil Gower, Natalie Grahame and readings from the 100th issue of legendary Lewes journal The Frogmore Papers. Sarah Barnsley is unable to read but we hope to welcome her back very soon.
This will be a LIVE event at the John Harvey Tavern in Lewes (upstairs room): doors 6pm for a 6.30pm start.
Tickets £5 (£3 students/unwaged and claiming benefit) available on the door.
Books will be for sale on the night (cash only please).
Neil Gower
Neil Gower is an internationally acclaimed graphic artist, best known for his book jackets
(Bill Bryson, William Golding) and literary cartography (Kazuo Ishiguro, Jilly Cooper, Simon Armitage). Marking a shift from distilling the words of others into print his first collection of poetry, Meet Me in Palermo, was published last year. He was born into black and now inhabits white: the 1960s Rhondda coal-fields and the chalk trails of the South Downs respectively. He lives in Lewes and Kreuzberg, Berlin.
Natalie Grahame
Natalie has been writing creatively since childhood. She attained a BA in
Contemporary Writing and Drama at Manchester Metropolitan University, and later
an MA in Writing for Stage and Broadcast Media at the Central School of Speech
and Drama. Since moving to Lewes Natalie has had a short story published in a local
anthology of life writing by the Frogmore Press, True Tales From The Old Hill.
Natalie’s manuscript, One Day You’ll be a Dad, addresses the themes of parental
legacy and inherited trauma, lone-parenthood, and mental health.
Ultimately this is a tragi-comic story of survival and hope.
