Cider and Seduction

This week, live literature has played a big, bold, and beautifully buxom (ooh!) part in festival proceedings. As a poet, I endeavoured to attend most of these events, including last night's Cider and Seduction, an open mic welcoming 'adult-themed' poems, stories, monologues, etc

Ably hosted by young poet Renn Hubbuck, who opened proceedings with her piece 'Strap On? Strap Off!', it seemed all of Roath turned up to share their salubrious snippets. Love 'tastes like worms', we were assured by very funny but slightly surreal poet Simon L Read, before hearing more love- and lust-themed things from the likes of Julie Pritchard, Sheila Hart, Mark Blayney, Ceri Destefano, Gillian Brightmore, and more.

Not a lot of cider around, and very little seduction - more like, glasses of wine, a few beers, and some very attentive, interested listeners. A lovely night out at the Crwys, yes indeed! :-)
