Poetry Evening with Hilary Murray and Louise Holmes

Wednesday 16^th November 7.15 p.m. 

Hilary J Murray lives in Leeds, but grew up in Kent. She is mainly kept busy by her three daughters, four granddaughters – and poetry. Poems have appeared in Grey Hen Press anthologies, the pamphlet Second Bite, and magazines.

‘I owe a huge amount to a succession of poetry groups in Leeds – the latest incarnation is the Tiled Hall Poets’.

Louise Holmes

Born in Bradford and now living in Leeds, Louise Holmes remembers her love of poetry starting in early childhood. Louise has had poems widely published, including in poetry journals, magazines, on internet platforms and in a number of anthologies. She has won several prizes for poetry and read at various events and open mics in Yorkshire and further afield.

Louise says, ‘I write about the small (and sometimes enormous) experiences of family life that stay with me – and about those unusual encounters and observations that bring a rich and welcome seam of the unexpected to the day-to-day. I am increasingly finding myself drawn to nature in my writing – themes which also occur in my art practice.’
