Poetry Night
The next Open Mike Night, on Thursday 23rd July 2009, welcomes poet and essayist John Barnie from Abergavenny. John lived in Denmark from 1969-1982, he wa editor of Planet, The Welsh Internationalist from 1990-2006. He has published several collections of poems, mixed poems and fiction, and two collections of essays, one of which, The King of Ashes, won a Welsh Arts Council Prize for Literature in 1990.

His recent poetry collection Trouble in Heaven (Gomer, 2007) was on the Wales Book of the Year 2008 Long List: There is trouble in heaven. There is trouble on earth. But poet John Barnie refuses - intellectually and spiritually - to tire of creation’s capacity for glory and joy. In the face of corporate exploitation of man and the planet, and in spite of political cynicism and common-place materialism, he continues to allow himself to muse on and to marvel at the immutability of beauty. ’Believing in loveliness’, he searches for those dimensions beyond humanity’s inhumanity and beyond the confines of dogma and doubt. Never trite, never contrived, always pithy and contemporary, Trouble in Heaven explores the age-old complexities of man’s relationship with the natural world and beyond. Poets, writers, singers, acoustic musicians and those who just want to listen are all welcome to come along to this free entry event, at the Imperial Hotel, 23rd July at 7.30pm.
