Julia deakin

Julia Deakin was born in Nuneaton and meandered north to Yorkshire where she taught, married, did a poetry MA and took up ice-skating. Her new collection, Sleepless, views contemporary experience from a distinctly Bradfordian/Yorkshire standpoint. The Half-Mile-High Club – a 2007 Poetry Business Competition winner – Without a Dog (Graft, 2008) and Eleven Wonders (Graft, 2011) also drew praise from nationally renowned poets. She has featured twice on Poetry Please and won numerous prizes – none of them for skating. 

 

Monday 19th. November

Though the Beehive AGM  has been postponed for the time being, due to ill health and a lack of the necessary information needed to make decisions taken at the AGM binding, THERE WILL BE THE USUAL READ AROUND, so please bring some poems to read to the group, (or just listen), in a friendly and inclusive atmosphere. Make friends, enjoy good conversation, real fire,  gas lights, as usual,  in Bradford’s premier Inn.
