Poetry SchoolThe London Launch of Primers: Volume Three by Romalyn Ante, Sarala Estruch and Aviva Dautch will take place on Thursday 3rd May at the Crypt on the Green, Clerkenwell, at 19:30.

Primers Volume Three is the result of Nine Arches Press and the Poetry School’s third nationwide search for exciting and emerging talent in contemporary poetry. This year’s guest editor Hannah Lowe and Nine Arches editor Jane Commane read hundreds of anonymous entries and three poets emerged as clear choices: Romalyn Ante, Sarala Estruch and Aviva Dautch.
Primers: Volume Three collects together and introduces these three new vital voices.
