Red Squirrel regrets that, because of the weather, the launch event scheduled for Wednesday 1st December will not now go ahead. We will be launching Lesley Mountain’s pamphlet, Dance of the Disappointed, at a later date. Lesley was winner of the first Annual James Kirkup Memorial Poetry Competition with her poem The Timewasters, and the pamphlet is her prize.

Please watch this space for details of the rescheduled event, and next week’s events, a second chance to celebrate in South Shields, and a star-studded Red Squirrel launch for our anthology At Grand Central Station We Sat Down and Wept. See our Events page for details of both of these events, and for all Red Squirrel readings and launches.

Meanwhile, the Second Annual James Kirkup Memorial Poetry Competition is now open to entries. Even more entries are already flooding in for this year’s competition, and more are welcomed
