Karen Gemma Brewer Live! Entry only

Aberaeron’s Karen Gemma Brewer in performance and in conversation with Geraint Lewis, for a night of rhyme, rhythm and laughter with the odd song thrown in too. A veteran of both the Edinburgh and Swansea Fringe and two-time winner of the ‘Tim Williams Performance Poetry Award,’ Karen will be accompanied by Poz-Nan, her Polish-made guitar, and launching her third poetry collection ‘More Scarecrow Than Pirate’ published by Mosaïque Press.

Karen’s work combines emotion and mundanity with a strong sense of the absurd, is published in the UK, Europe and USA and translated into several languages.

Geraint Lewis likens Karen’s poetry to Emily Dickinson and RS Thomas, saying “Her shorter poems reach depths of concise ambiguity and in her nature writing, harshness is underpinned with a surprising tenderness, though all distilled through Karen’s unique voice. The sheer variety of poems in the new collection is astounding…. If you get a chance please try and see Karen live.”
