I am delighted to be the representative of Cinnamon Press at the launch of Will Kemp’s new collection of poetry, The Painter Who Studied Clouds: 7 pm on Friday 7 October at Keats House, Hampstead, London NW3 2RR. Will won the 2016 Keats Shelley Prize for Poetry. I shall be introducing Will who will read some of his poems — and he is an accomplished performer of his work. He also won the 2015 Cinnamon Press short story prize with ‘The Day I Met Vini Reilly’. I was the judge for that competition. The short story anthology, The Day I Met Vini Reilly, including other prize-winning stories, was in the Waterstones short-story top-seller list for months. It will be a great event at the lovely Keats House on 7 October. For reservations will.kemp@btinternet.com
