Live in the Parlour | Book Launch | Three Poets in the Parlour
There is something rather special about hearing poetry read aloud in Dylan Thomas’s childhood home.
For this intimate evening in the parlour, poet and Seventh Quarry Press editor Peter Thabit Jones will be joined by Christopher Norris and Mark Lewis to celebrate the launch of three new collections of poetry.
Peter’s The Boy Who Drew John Lennon travels from memories of his childhood in Swansea’s Eastside to his time as writer in residence at Big Sur, California.
In Porlock Revisited and Other Poems on Literary Themes, Christopher Norris turns his attention to the poets and writers who have shaped our literary imagination, while Mark Lewis’s Anchor and Wing: Poems from the Periphery celebrates the joy of living in its many forms.
Three poets, three new collections, and an evening of words and conversation in the room where a young Dylan Thomas grew up surrounded by language and stories.
All three books are published by Seventh Quarry Press.
The parlour holds only a small audience, making these evenings wonderfully intimate.
Date: Monday 5th October 2026
Time: 6.30pm for a 7pm start
