Pavilion Poetry is a new series of books from Liverpool University Press which aims to seek out and publish all that is daring and relevant in contemporary poetry. This debut launch event features three books from a trio of UK poets: Small Hands by Mona Arshi (winner of the 2014 Manchester Poetry Prize); And She Was by Sarah Corbett (shortlisted for the T. S. Eliot Prize) and Blood Child by Eleanor Rees (shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection). The collection is edited by Professor Deryn Rees-Jones from the University of Liverpool and the event will feature readings from each of the poets, with books and drinks available to buy. This event is supported by the University of Manchester Centre for New Writing.
