Prize-winning poets Stella Davis and Joan McGavin reunite for a poetry reading at Dimbola.

Stella Davis’ new collection Lunch on a Green Ledge was launched last year to great acclaim. It follows her previous collections, Last Boat to Avalon, St Swithun’s Day and Watershot. Stella lives in Somerset, and is poet in residence at St Mary at Hill in the City of London. Joan McGavin has two collections from Oversteps Books: Flannelgraphs and Passing Arcadia Close. She also edited, for the Winchester Poetry Festival, an anthology of local poets with a national profile: Hogwords (2014). Stella and Joan will read new poems along with a few older ones, in what promises to be a memorable reading.
