5. Book Launch, Zion Centre: love poems from suitcase press
______________________________________________________
Dear Poets,
Happy New Year, and an exciting one too!
I am pleased to say we will be launching the Suitcase Book of Love Poems on February 7th at 7pm at Zion Arts Centre, Manchester – just in time for Valentines Day ! I will send more details on venue including directions etc nearer the time.
The host for the evening will be the poet-comedian Julian Daniel. We are launching the spoof guide book he has co-written called, ‘How To Dump Your Girlfriend’ (soon to be followed by its sequel ‘How To Dump Your Boyfriend’) on the same evening, to create an interesting dynamic. Of course, I myself line up unfailingly every time with the romantics. And, while pre-sales of How To Dump Your Girlfriend are exceeding those of The Suitcase Book of Love Poems by three to one- I’m sure we can catch up – love always wins in the end, I say, it’s simply that the cynics always come out of the traps faster!
As well as poetry, there will be song, dance and refreshments on the night. More on that as we firm the programme up.
All good wishes
Pete Kalu

Through hip hop to haikus, Crow of Murders asks; what does love mean when you’re queer? What does queer mean when you’re in love? Are the words opposites …or the same?

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT GAIA
Dr James Graham’s Celestial Bed by Gaia Holmes ISBN: 0-9548280-8-9
£7.95, 72pp. Published: 6 April 2006
Gaia Holmes is a Luddenden-born poet whose work digs beneath the surface of mundane, urban life to reveal a remarkable seam of exoticism. Her carnival of characters – bingo callers, burger sellers, critical theorists – are all cast from the least expected places but, rejuvenated by Gaia’s verse, find a new voice and a new ability to captivate. Dr James Graham’s Celestial Bed marks the arrival of yet another great Yorkshire poet.
Somewhere
in the middle of a poem
you draw
the shape of the plough
on the stickleback ridges
of my spine.
There is no first line
to explain the beginning.
- from ‘Constellations’
Gaia is a graduate of Huddersfield University’s English with Creative Writing BA, and has previously made a living as a busker, a cleaner, an oral historian, a lollypop lady , a poet in residence at Bradford Libraries, a free lance writer and Creative writing lecturer.
As well as being a familiar face on the local poetry scene, Gaia Holmes is also known nationally. She has read at literary festivals throughout Britain and beyond. Her poem ‘Claustrophobia’ was highly commended in the ‘best individual poem’ category of the Forward Poetry Prize, 2007 and ‘A homesick truckie In The Algarve’ was the featured poem in Frida Hughes’ weekly literary column in ‘The Times’ (May 2007).

He has taken part in numerous poetry readings in London and the East Midlands, including the Arts Council-funded regional Inky Fish tour 2006/7. Robert has been awarded a Hawthornden Fellowship and has been shortlisted for a Forward prize. In 2006 he was first prize-winner in Chroma’s first International Queer Writing Competition. He has published six poetry pamphlets, including Heading North (Flarestack, 2007), a sequence about John Clare. His full-length collections are Warpaint Angel (Blackwater, 1997),The Smug Bridegroom (Five Leaves, 2002), which was chosen for the small-press Alternative Generation promotion and Torso, published in summer 2007 by Redbeck Press.
Faith Lawrence is working on a collection of poems for her Creative Writing PhD, and also works as a radio producer for the BBC. These two parts of her life collide pleasurably when she is asked to make radio programmes about poets. She grew up in Hertfordshire but now lives in South Manchester.
James McGrath was born in the countryside of North Staffordshire, an area which, as remembered and imagined from Manchester (where he now lives), inspires many of his poems. He is currently working on his Cultural Studies PhD at Leeds Metropolitan University. James has published reviews in ‘PN Review’ and ‘Estudios Irlandeses: The Spanish Journal of Irish Studies’; he has also contributed a chapter to the book ‘New Perspectives in British Cultural History’.
Catherine Sadler is interested in typography, trains and making books. She is working on the portfolio for her MA at MMU and has reviews published in a-n magazine. She is currently based in Lancaster, where she works as Projects Manager for Litfest.
MUSICIANS
Jane Lawrence has played and composed music for many years. Originally from Manchester, she studied Ethnomusicology at Goldsmiths and learnt tabla in India with a master musician. She runs HoBow, a community fiddle group in Lancaster and plays with Tabuka and Chouchenn, with whom she has recorded two CDs. When not playing her fiddle or being a busy mother, she loves swimming.
Hugh Tuffen is a classically-trained cellist who has recently discovered the rich world of folk music. His performing experience includes orchestras, chamber groups and folk bands at venues ranging from concert halls to chaotic poetry jams. Together with Jane he is a member of “Balkanic Eruption”, a seven-piece Balkan and Klezmer band based in Lancaster, where he works as a
volcanologist.

By learning and practising a few simple postures for a few minutes every day, this ancient Chinese system easily integrates into your life, benefiting you physically, mentally, emotionally and ultimately, spiritually.
