Feature: Angela Costi

Why hello there and welcome to another exciting edition of Cherry Poets. We've had a last minute switch-o-change-o of our feature poets and this week for your delight and edification we have the wonderful Angela Costi. Angela is a dear friend, a magically incredible poet and performer and I am just very pleased. She also has a pretty new book out that you are gonna love and can surely purchase on the day, 'The Heart of the Advocate' published by Liquid Amber Press.

The afternoon also contains open mic of course, sign up from 1.30pm, gig starts at 2pm.

(Note: we will rebook Kathleen Mary Fallon later in the year, sometimes the things they just happen in a thwarting sort of fashion).
