Autumn kicks off with publication of Isabel's work in three anthologies -'Kinds of Cool: A Collection of Jazz Poetry: Volume II; Morecambe Festival Poetry Anthology and the 'Motorcitysixty Winners' Anthology' promoted by Clevedon Litfest. More details on these will be published shortly. Isabel's latest collection Usonia - An American Peculiar, is out now, priced £10. The London Launch of Usonia is scheduled for 21st October at the Artillery Arms in Bunhill Row, London. - 7.30pm. Isabel hopes to see many friendly faces there!
The other big news for the autumn however, is the launch of our new spoken word ensemble Hi-Art and Mischief. Bristol is blessed with a cornucopia of spoken word talent, and we have selected the best exponents for a series of events to take us through autumn and into the New Year. Edson 'Doc' Burton, Patrick Chandler, and Jeremy Toombs joined Isabel for 'Take it to the Man' at St. George’s, Bristol. They will be joined for two more shows in October and November by Melanie Branton. Tickets available via the St George's website. Hi-Art & Mischief On Safari took our spoken word exponents to Wedmore, Somerset in late September, featuring Alex Bickley, Tim Munson, Charis Owen, John Rea and Steve Selby. They have invted us back to do it all again in February 2026. More details about these shows can be found on the poetry page here.
