Author Judy Darley invites you to an atmospheric evening of readings and music on the themes of sky, light, and rain to celebrate the launch of her second collection of short stories and flash fiction.
Drawing on Judy's enduring fascination with the fallibility of the human mind, Sky Light Rain examines aspects of human existence, our relationship to nature and to each other. Alongside Judy, participants include writers Paul Deaton, Kevlin Henney and Grace Palmer, and indie art-pop musician Hidden Tide.
