Poetry in Palmers Green
Poetry in Palmers Green was started by Katherine Gallagher, Joanna Cameron and Myra Schneider in around 2006. For several years it put on readings twice a year in St John’s Church in Palmers Green. Since 2011 readings have been held in the adjoining Parish Centre. With the help of a committee which currently includes Katherine, Myra, Maggie Butt, Martyn Crucefix, Kaye Lee, Christine Vial and Julian Bishop we continue to put on one or two readings a year to attentive audiences. We feature five poets at different stages in their career, usually including North London poets and guest poets from other parts of London and further afield. We also include a short session of floor readers and, when they are free, the delightful Helios Consort play for us at the beginning of the evening and immediately after the interval.
For the past few years Poetry in Palmers Green has been in residence at Palmers Green library, where it puts on two or three writing workshops each year, an afternoon of poetry and talks and, on one occasion, a discussion workshop.
Members have also read at other venues including in the Dugdale Centre at the Enfield Literary Festival in 2018.
Please contact Myra Schneider as if you would like to go on the Poetry in Palmers Green mailing list and you will receive emails about our readings and other events. We very much welcome newcomers who like hearing poetry, also writers of poetry.
