Unholy launch
May 19th, 2008
posted by Cptn
Exeter-based poet and novelist Alexis Lykiard will launch his new poetry collection, Unholy Empires at a special book launch in the Exeter Picturehouse bar at 7pm tomorrow (Tuesday May 20).
“Praised by The Morning Star, vilified by The Sun, Alexis Lykiard has been compared to the likes of Juvenal, Horace, Rochester, Swift, Pope and Louis MacNeice,” according to the blurb. And “his many translations from the French have won him critical acclaim and his two recent memoirs to his friend, the artist and writer Jean Rhys, were particularly admired by critics”. That’s Jean Rhys of Wide Sargasso Sea fame, people.
Alexis will also be on hand to sign copies, and read extracts from the new collection.
Admission to the book launch party is free. For further information contact the Exeter Picturehouse on 01392 285960 or e mail exeter@picturehouses.co.uk
Meanwhile, have an amble around the writer’s site.
