CLECKHEATON LITERATURE FESTIVAL ANTHOLOGY LAUNCH

Reflections is a rich and diverse collection of prose and poetry, celebrating the legacy of Cleckheaton Literature Festival.

The anthology features work from many of the writers who appeared at the festival in 2015 and 2016, as well as stories and poems by members of Cleckheaton Writers Group, who organised and ran the festival.

Enjoy reading the work of James Nash, Alison J Taft, Ian C Douglas, and many other established authors, as well as that of emerging and – as yet – unpublished writers. The anthology is dedicated to the late Helen Cadbury, who appeared at both festivals.

‘This collection of writing is a testament to the work of the festival team that worked so hard to bring the joy of literature in all its forms to West Yorkshire. I hope they are justifiably proud of all they achieved in such short space of time.’  Mark Wright



The collection will launch at three separate events in November and December 2018, the first of which will be held at Cleckheaton Library, Whitcliffe Road at 1pm on Saturday 10th November.
