MOONS IN ORBIT

Thank you to all who have entered Battered Moons Poetry Competition. It has been a joy to receive so many and such good poems from all over UK.

The preliminary phase is complete and our finals judge Michael Symmons Roberts will now go on to decide the seven finalists, who will be contacted by the end of April and invited to read their poems at the Swindon Festival of Literature, 11th May. For more on the Festival and the Battered Moons event, follow http://www.swindonfestivalofliterature.co.uk/, where a full programme will be available from 21st March.

As well as the three winners and four commendations, the Battered Moons event will feature readings by Michael Symmons Roberts and Cristina Newton. We will celebrate our winners to the music artistry of guitarist Robert Jack and singer-songwriter Serene Boulton performing her songs to the mesmerising sounds of her electric piano.

Come and join us at a Festival renowned for its friendliness as much as for its surprises.
