- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Local poets Anwesha Arya and Alex Josephy will be reading a selection of poems from their new book of poetry. Hear about how they worked together to meld Anglo-Indian influences.
“In Anwesha’s shop, at Alex’s kitchen table, in-between the busy days of their lives, all through 2025 they reflected on the books, stories and tales that have made them who they are. They scribbled in private, then redrafted together. They swapped memories and wrote about each other. They explored each other’s journal entries and found poems there. The result is their brand-new poetry collection”. (copy credit: Rye Festival).
