... Years later, I met his kindly, grizzled mentor who spoke with fondness of the young boy who trudged up the hill to see him and talk of poetry and the calling that afflicts us all ... from 'The Return'

Save the date:   Thursday 14 July 2022   Special Memorial Event for Sussex poet Tim Beech  

at Grand Central, 29-30 Surrey Street, Brighton, BN1 3PA  (Opposite the mainline station in central Brighton)

Sussex poet Tim Beech died in January. He was the quintessential Sussex poet. For many years he was a shepherd on the Lullington Heath English Nature Reserve near Eastbourne. He wrote about the natural world with great veracity, empathy and insight.

On July 14th Tim's son Tom is supporting a free event at Grand Central in Brighton. Please come along and read one of Tim’s poems as well as one of your own - perhaps a new poem remembering Tim. If you don’t have a copy of Tim’s poems then you can choose one to read on the night or by contacting me first. I hope as many of Tim’s poetry friends and contacts will be able to attend this memorial event which has such special significance, particularly for Tom. It’s also a great opportunity to meet up with friends old and new and celebrate poetry in Sussex.
