Event details
Join us for a special evening with James Berry Poetry Prize winner, Kaycee Hill. Kaycee’s hotly anticipated debut collection Hot Sauce will be published this October.
Now based near Bristol, she was born in Winchester and grew up in a working-class, mixed-heritage home- British and Caribbean- in Andover.
Raised on poetry from outside of the canon, from lyricists such as Lauren Hill, Floetry and Sade, as well as dub poets like Lillian Allan and Benjamin Zephaniah. Kaycee’s poetry looks at eco-poetics, exploring the female body and the intricacies of growing up in an urban pastoral landscape.
Light refreshments will be available with an opportunity to purchase your own copy of Hot Sauce thanks to October Books!
