EXCITING COLLABORATION
Friday, February 28 8pm sees Sustainable Wales’s ‘Green Room’ at 5 James St. Porthcawl CF36 3BG present a special event by Robert Minhinnick and Laura Wainwright.
This features their collaborative book ‘Thrall: Poems and Art” (Seventh Quarry Press).
This event is part of a tour for the writers, who will also visit Swansea, Newport and Aberystwyth amongst other places.
‘Thrall’ features poetry from Minhinnick and Wainwright, with the latter’s distinctive paintings and drawings.
Also, Laura will show her photographs of places which both writers are enthralled by, including Merthyr Mawr dunes and the Gwent Levels.
Robert Minhinnick commented: “Both of us enjoy collaboration and hope to undertake more joint projects in the future.
“ ‘Thrall’, also concerns subjects such as alcohol, drugs, television, personal impairment to which we might be in thrall.
“Our writing is not merely personal reflection but confronts the political world, especially Israel-Palestine.
“We believe it has a good deal to say to any audience.”
The night in the Green Room will also feature a musical performance of Minhinnick’s sequence from ‘Thrall’, titled ‘Ghosts and Hammers’.
Local writers and film makers are invited to join in the ‘Open Mic' section of the night.
£4 entry on door. Proceeds to the charity Sustainable Wales/Cymru Gynaliadwy.
