“Joining Mandy at New Park will be emerging Chichester poet, Hannah Brockbank reading from her first collection, Bloodlines, a book centred on the idea of an absent father which uses folklore, history and the natural world in the poems. Hannah’s poetry has been featured in magazines and prestigious anthologies.
“After Mandy and Hannah’s readings, local poets will have the chance to share the spotlight as they read their own new poems. We’re constantly delighted by the range and quality of the writing presented at the open mic.”
