Free Event - all welcome

The poems in the 'Bluebeard's Wives' collection emerged after Julie Boden, poet in residence at Symphony Hall, Birmingham, invited women writers for a tour of the building followed by a performance of Bartok's Duke Bluebeard's Castle. Drawing on theatre and music, these poems offer another look at the familiar myth. They have been edited by Julie Boden and Zoe Brigley. The book is published by Heaventree Press.

Tonight's event will feature readings by Julie Boden and Zoe Brigley. Jane Seabourne and Emma Purshouse, who are both members of Wolverhampton's Women Who Write group, have work in the collection and will also be reading.
