Eating Satsumas in the Sun and Forgetting About Heartbreak

Emily started writing poetry for the incredibly healthy reason of trying to impress a boy. Now he’s long gone and she’s reclaiming her words. This writer, storyteller, mum, and general liability dives into her debut hour of honest, argumentative, optimistic, brutal, loving and (dare we say it) funny poetry to untangle the threads of love, identity, parenthood, friendship, loss, belonging and the pure unadulterated joy of eating satsumas in the sun and forgetting about heartbreak.

This year we have two entry methods: Free & Unticketed or Pay What You Can

Portbello Book Blog - Review of 'Eating Satsumas in the Sun and Forgetting About Heartbreak'

"An hour of storytelling and poetry in the company of Emily Layton is an hour well spent. This talented poet performs a selection of her work covering themes of grief, love, motherhood and friendship...The poetry is celebratory, introspective, challenging and heartwarming, covering many events and times in the poet’s life which she describes as transformative. This is a very open, honest and raw show, and I found myself by turns entertained, amused and also very moved. Highly recommended." Click Here For Review
