SOUNDBITES – Monthly Poetry Open Mic Event

We’re back live in the Assembly Bar + Kitchen!

Readings by a different local published poet each month.  This month we’re delighted to welcome Mandy Sutter.

Mandy Sutter went to school in Nigeria and Bromley and now lives in Ilkley. She has published three poetry pamphlets

and two novels and won The New Welsh Writing Awards 2016, with a story about her family’s time in Nigeria.

Her first novel ‘Stretching It’ was published in 2016, followed by ‘Bushmeat’, a collection of short stories, in 2017.

Mandy has been published in various publications (The Rialto, Stand, and The North magazines),

and her pamphlet ‘Old Blue Car’ came out in 2015. Her poem ‘Old Honda’ made the top five in the 2011 Live Canon Poetry Prize.
