LIVE POETS SOCIETY MEETING

The next meeting of the Live Poets Society takes place on February 25.

At this month's Live Poets' meeting, Graham Lancaster, Director of Alexander House Publishers launches Signatures an anthology of seven contemporary woman poets - some already established, others emerging for the first time.

Poets will include Janice Pears, Jacky Krog, Erica Clark, Sarah Frost, Irene Emanuel, Sharon Scott and Meryl Raw.

Signatures is an anthology of poignant snapshots frozen with absolute clarity in the lens of the poet's eye and then quietly freed with all the private insights of passion, happiness and poetic licence. These are seven individually different poets lifting their masks for a look at the artist beneath. Amongst other international awards, achievements and recognitions they have won three Hilde Slinger Poetry trophies and two top Quill Awards from the South African Writer's Circle in the past five years," explains Graham Lancaster.

The meeting of the Live Poets Society will take place on February 25, starting with snacks and a social time at 17h30 with the poets beginning their readings at 18h00 sharp. Theme for this month's poems: Underneath my skin.

Meetings take place at the Alliance Française (Corner Sutton and Windermere) from 17h30 to 20h00. Snacks and cash bar available.
