Want freebies, fun, fizz & celebrations? Then come to the launch of Pearl Blades & Painted Silks….1pm 19th September 2021 in the beautifully magnificent Great Hall, Commandery, Worcester. If you can’t make it in person (picture me with a sad face) then a zoom link will be available on the lovely shiny new event page those wonderful peeps at Black Pear Press have created for me: Leena Batchelor – Writer on the day. If you can make it (happy dances!) then turn up for free entry (would be great if you could drop me a message to say you’re coming so I can make sure those nice people at the Commandery know it’s a free entry for you: worcspoet2020-Leena@yahoo.com or use the contact page)
Everyone who buys a book on the day will receive a free gift, handmade specially for the event, by the clever & creative Yellow Rose Makes (not saying what, but it’s special and beautiful) – what’s not to like? No pennies? No worries, we take card payments too (tech, you know! We can do that!).
A total joy – from personal memories of her grandmother’s lost collection, Leena takes us on a journey through the history and language of fans, across different cultures, discovering different meanings, from Samurai warriors to ladies in Victorian drawing rooms, encapsulated in poetry
