About the event
We have a bumper Word Of Mouth on Sunday May 31, featuring Tom Sastry, Rachel Bentham and A.C. Bevan plus our host with the most Bertel Martin…
Tom Sastry is political, ironic, emotional, morbid and funny in all the wrong places. His latest collection Life Expectancy Begins To Fall was described by Jonathan Edwards as “the most important – and certainly the most entertaining – book about the end of the world I’ve yet found”
Tom’s previous books have been (variously) Poetry School Book of the Year, Poetry Book Society pamphlet choice, highly commended in the Forward Prize and shortlisted for the Seamus Heaney First Collection Prize.
