The allure of night has inspired artists from Van Gogh to Chopin, and in this grand tradition, Alan Parry brings us Twenty Seven, a poetry collection that offers a kaleidoscope of celestial beauty and human introspection. As Editor-in-Chief at The Broken Spine, Alan Parry extends an open invitation to you—our cherished community of writers, artists, and readers—to join us in celebrating this remarkable collection.
Twenty Seven is no ordinary collection. Dedicated to Jim Morrison on what would’ve been his 80th birthday, the poems weave a rich tapestry of spirituality, celestial wonder, and human emotion. When Alan reads from this collection, you’re not just hearing words; you’re embarking on a journey that spans broad landscapes, internal yearnings, and even the mythic realms of our collective imagination.
Ever wondered what inspired a line, a stanza, or an entire poem? This is your chance to find out. A live Q&A segment with Alan offers a rare glimpse into the creative process behind Twenty Seven. Don’t miss the opportunity to deepen your understanding of the work directly from its creator.
One of the most unique aspects of this event is the open mic segment. The Broken Spine has always championed inclusivity and the democratisation of the arts, and this event embodies that ethos. Whether you’re an emerging poet or an established writer, here’s your stage to share your art in a safe and welcoming environment.
Our tiered ticket system, available on Eventbrite, ensures that everyone can participate, irrespective of financial constraints. We offer general admission, reader tickets, and even complimentary options to ensure that no one is left out of this celebration of poetry and community.
With a focus on quality, engagement, and inclusivity, this isn’t just a book launch—it’s a testament to the power and beauty of community. Join us as we make this a memorable and inclusive event in the annals of independent publishing.
