"Escarmouches II: war of independence" or "The Colony Strikes Back". Coffee-House Colloquies returns for another minor skirmish, this time on questions of British and American representation in each other's poetic bestseller lists and on whether were divided by a common poetic language: reading their own poems in the first half before weighing in on one or another side of a very civil war, or panel discussion, will be:
- TLS Deputy Editor Alan Jenkins ("A Shorter Life", Chatto, 2005),
- Carrie Etter (b. Normal, Illinois) who teaches at Bath Spa University ("The Tethers", Seren, 2009),
- Gregory Award & Forward Prize winner Roddy Lumsden (b. St. Andrews), latest collection "Third Wish Wasted" (Bloodaxe, 2009)
- and Molly Peacock (b. Buffalo, NY, 6th collection "The Second Blush", Norton, 2008) who has performed her one-woman show in poems, "The Shimmering Verge", Off-Broadway and throughout North America.
