Launch of Where Decay Sleeps by Anna Cheung

Join us this spooky season for the launch of Where Decay Sleeps, the debut Gothic poetry collection from the haunted mind of Anna Cheung.

This is a launch like no other. Upon arrival you will be greeted with a glass of fresh blood*, before helping yourself to the (severed) finger buffet, inspired by Cheung’s set-menu-poem ‘La Chataeu Viande’ (menu below). These creepy delights will tantalise your senses and prepare you for readings from the author, plus a Q&A with none other than Sean Wai Keung, the master of food poetry.

We hope to see you there!

Please note: the poetry readings and Q&A will be live-streamed via YouTube or Zoom for those who cannot make the launch in-person. There is no cost to watch the live stream but we would be grateful if those who can buy us a ghost on Ko-Fi, to help cover costs. For more information see our events page where the live link will be posted.
