Tuesday 9th May – Rosy Wood Bevan

Rosy Wood-Bevan is one of the original Swansea based Pinewood Poets. As a psychotherapist by profession, many of her poems reflect her interest in people, emotions, childhood memories and the landscapes of the external and the internal worlds. Others have a comic edge with playful use of language and witty wordplay. She takes inspiration from her children and tries not to embarrass them too much! 

Tuesday 13th June – Richard Foreman

Richard Foreman who says he will perform a mix of poetry and micro fiction.  None of his stories exceeds 2000 words, which takes about 15 minutes to read.  I’ve been doing performance readings mainly locally and have more scheduled over next month or two.  So far they’ve gone down well.  More detail on my website
