The Dylan Thomas Centre launches The Meaning of Apricot Sponge on Thursday, 23 September at 7pm with readings from Nigel Jenkins, Tony Curtis and Mab Jones.

This new title presents a selection of the writings of John Tripp (1927-1986) - poet, short story writer, and journalist - an outspoken and often controversial writer whose passion and vigour often spilled over the pages he wrote and into his life. The book includes an essay by Peter Finch, and is edited by Tony Curtis, Professor of Poetry at the University of Glamorgan , who also provides a critical foreword. Tony Curtis, John Tripp Award Winner Mab Jones, and Swansea writer and Tripp scholar, Nigel Jenkins, will give readings from the book.

Free entry and wine, in association with Parthian Books. Please contact the Dylan Thomas Centre on 01792 463980 for more information.
