The incomparable
Bad Betty Press, run by poets Amy Acre and Jake Wild Hall, have been hard at work organising a new online festival – the
One-Off Indie Poetry Press festival (OOIPP). It’s a week-long jamboree of dynamic independent publishing from 19-25 July, and a tasty tapas for all.
Sidekick Books is taking part in two days of the festival, represented by
Rowyda Amin (
We Go Wandering At Night and are Consumed by Fire),
Chelsea Cargill (
Aquanauts),
Ian McLachlan (
Confronting the Danger of Art,
Bad Kid Catullus) and
J.T. Welsch (
Hell Creek Anthology).
Events start tonight (19 July) and run from 19.15-20.45 BST. It’s pay-what-you-can, so book on Eventbrite and enjoy the rich range of indie poetry being published in the UK today.
