CB1 open mic is back on Sunday 6th July at the Town and Gown Pub & Theatre - Cambridge. As with all of our open mics, it will cost £2 Entry on the door. There will be plenty of slots so you can sign up on the night if you would like to read! Bring a poem or just come to listen to some fantastic poets from around Cambridge. Can’t wait to see you there at 18:30!
This month we're welcoming along the wonderful writer and long-time CB1 reader J.S Watts!
J.S.Watts is a poet and novelist who weaves the fantastical and the literary with other vibrant strands to create glowing, multi-faceted writing. Originally from London, she read English at Oxford and now lives in South Cambridgeshire, which means she is very conflicted when it comes to the Boat Race.
Her poetry, short stories and non-fiction appear in a wide variety of publications in Britain and abroad and have been broadcast on BBC and Independent Radio. She has edited various magazines and anthologies and performed her poetry across England, Scotland and Wales, but sadly not yet in Ireland . Along the way, she has won various awards and had honourable mentions in others, but nothing so outstanding that she wants to make a big thing out of it.
J.S.’s three full poetry collections, Cats and Other Myths, Years Ago You Coloured Me and Underword, are published by Lapwing Publications, as is her multi-award nominated SF poetry pamphlet, Songs of Steelyard Sue. Her poetry pamphlet, The Submerged Sea, was published by Dempsey & Windle. Her novels, A Darker Moon – dark fiction, Witchlight, Old Light and Elderlight – an urban fantasy trilogy, are published in the US and UK by Vagabondage Press.
