It is Write Out Loud Woking’s great pleasure to welcome Pratibha Castle as our guest poet at Write Out Loud Woking on Zoom on Wednesday 8 May. Pratibha was a regular at our lockdown Zooms, and intrigued us then by reading poems about her hippie days in London and India. Now those poems have been captured in her second, recently published and very well received pamphlet Miniskirts in The Waste Land.
Here are just a couple of reviews:
“[While] many born between say 1943-56 will recognise this [world] … it goes far wider. The more detailed it is, the more the universal grounds itself in it … No one has mapped [this world and time] more precisely or with such exact feeling, heartbreak, evocative detail or truth.” Simon Jenner, Waterloo Press
“In Miniskirts in The Waste Land, Pratibha Castle … waltzes through the annals of pop culture and identity with the finesse of a poet in their prime … [she] plays a delightful game of hide and seek with identity. Each poem is a snapshot, a Polaroid from a personal album that speaks to the universal. What Castle does so brilliantly is show how our sense of self is a patchwork quilt of the past and the present.” Alan Parry, editor-in-chief of The Broken Spine
Contact Greg at gregfreem62@gmail.com to secure a five-minute open-mic slot, or if you’d like to come just to hear Pratibha read. Log-on details will be sent out nearer the date
