Poems and pictures ……… at the Royal Oak ......... tomorrow .... midday

I am looking forward to the launch of "Poems by Lindy and Pictures by Peter" which they tell me “will be a memorable afternoon”.


They have “invited Manchester’s top literary artists to come together for an afternoon of spoken word and poetry in celebration of their new book of poems and pictures but despite, working  before on projects,  up till now, they have never collaborated on a book which has produced so much wow.

The idea of illustrating stories is not new and the very first illustrated books were published in 1461 by the cleric and printer, Albrecht Pfister, who was born around 1420 in Bamberg.

What’s unique to this book is the vivid imagination of Peter’s startling images set against the raw emotion created by Lindy’s poetry. 

And so there you have it, a "Sunday Lunchtime of  Spoken Word, Poetry, and the Book Launch", in The Royal Oak Function Room, Chorlton, 12.00 - 2.00pm, Sunday 30th June.

Dip in and out of the book as you wish and revisit the poems and pictures to discover new surprises every time.

Just remember, everything is not always what it seems”.


And with that promise .... clear the diary for that hour on that day, and remember the book is available  from  www.pubbooks.co.uk  and Chorlton Bookshop.

Location; The Royal Oak Function Room, Chorlton, 12.00 - 2.00pm, Sunday 30th June.
