We look forward to seeing you in this lovely old fashioned pub, down a short road from the Wakefield Road junction.
As usual we have a guest poet, and two open mic sessions.
7.30 for 8pm start. Put your name down for the Open Mic when you arrive. We welcome first time readers and appreciate everybody sharing their poetry with us.

Puzzle Poets has been changed this month, because the first Monday is a bank holiday.
Peter Riley recently retired to Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, after living for 28 years in Cambridge. He has been a teacher, lecturer, bookseller, bus conductor, and a few other things.He is the author of fifteen books of poetry, and some of prose concerning travel and music.Before he became a Calder Valley Poetry poet with Pennine tales and Hushings, his most recent books were The Glacial Stairway (Carcanet 2011) and a book-length poem, Due North (Shearsman 2015) which was shortlisted for the Forward Best Collection Prize in 2015.
Peter has become a regular at the Puzzle Poets Live nights, and this is the first time he’ll be a guest poet. We always proclaim ‘proud to present’ on our publicity, but we’re specially proud to present the first guest poet in the years of the Puzzle to have not just a Collected Poems under his belt, but to have one that runs to two volumes. It’ll be a special night from a poet who has since the 60’s refused to be labelled, categorised or otherwise tied down or defined. Warm, wry, wise , elegant, scholarly and funny. Here’s a sample.
Words are not magic crystals. What’s that faint tapping in the night? It is Ted Hughes wishing he’d stayed in Mytholmroyd and not been made into a hero by hungry clerks or his wife into a martyr by ideologues.
Open Mic from 9pm

Entry: collection by hat for the guest

Time: 8:00pm
