Steyning bookshop events in Church
Our good friends from the wonderful Steyning Bookshop are holding ‘An immersive evening of mesmerising melodies, pagan poetry and spoken word’ on 3 May.
SWIFT WINGS is a haunting performance piece featuring Justin Hopper reading Victor Neuberg’s Sussex landscape poems, set to Kraus’s original music performed live on recorders, flutes, synths & vocals, with hypnotic visuals by Wendy Pye.
The poet Victor Neuburg is best known for his early, tragic relationship with the infamous Aleister Crowley and, later, for ‘discovering’ Dylan Thomas. But he was also a prolific writer and poet, and ran a small publishing press from his home in Vine Cottage in Steyning during the 1920s, publishing writers from the Bohemian subculture.
David Bramwell’s CULT OF WATER will take you on a magical odyssey, in search of the occult secrets of our rivers, and a drowned village which has long haunted his memories.
THE EVENING WILL ALSO FEATURE
A short talk by Victor Neuberg’s daughter Caroline Neuberg on her father’s life, work & legacy.
