Lancaster Litfest Reader

Litfest is Lancaster's annual literature festival, running literary events and writing projects through the year, supporting and publishing upcoming writers in the North West of England through our Flax imprint.

Litfest's Summer Readings at The Storey Auditorium are almost over, Litfest's Lunchtime Classics start next month and we've got a Litfest Occassional with Jay Griffiths. We also play host to Lancaster's Spotlight Club in a great new space designed with the spoken word and our audiences in mind.

The Lancaster Literature Festival will take place from 16 - 25 October this year, so put it in your diary and clear some space on your bookshelves; you'll be coming home from some great literary events with a smile on your face and armfuls of lovely books to read in the dark winter months.
 

Featured from Flax

cover, flax018 The Crowd Without

Sensual, political and, at times, wry, these poems herald some of the strongest voices in the North West, from both new and established poets.

The Crowd Without is the latest of our poetry anthologies. It contains poems that twist through relationships, the sky and memory. While these topics are well populated, the narrators of the poems are outsiders, or at the least, objective witnesses to what unfolds around them.
