Also, newly added to our 2026 archive page is Alan Passey’s work Patience.
Alan is currently working on his first novel, and was an entertaining and informed speaker on prose poems at the February meeting of Writers in the Library. Local poetry enthusiasts also had the opportunity to hear Adam Horovitz read at this month’s meeting. The sessions run from 2pm to 3pm on the second Monday of the month in Cirencester. Entry is free with complimentary refreshments available, and a short open mic spot, enabling audience members to read their own work or that of their favourite authors.
