Poetry Collection Launch James Appleby - Spurious Language Tues 26th August
We enjoyed another wonderful evening of poetry at the gallery on Tuesday 26th August.
We were delighted to host poets James Appleby, Sarah-Clare Conlon and Tim Craven.
You can read more about the event at Creative Tourist
James was joined by fellow Blue Diode poet Tim Craven, author of Good Sons (Blue Diode), and Sarah-Clare Conlon, Literature Editor of Creative Tourist and author of five books, most recently Wanderland (Red Ceilings Press, 2025). Tim Craven is from Stoke-on-Trent and lives in Scotland. He has a poetry MFA from Syracuse University and, from the University of Edinburgh, a PhD examining the characterisation of mental illness in Confessional poetry. He received a New Writers Award from the Scottish Book Trust and an Emerging Writer Award from Cove Park. Described by John Glenday as “a poet of astonishing range … utterly original”, Good Sons is his debut collection.
My sister was waiting in a gallery foyer for a friend who was running late when she noticed a poster for a poetry event. That eventually led her to Saul Hay Gallery’s announcement for James Appleby’s Spurious Language launch, with Sarah-Clare Conlon and Tim Craven also involved. What she liked was that it felt more personal than a standard exhibition notice — the kind of event where people come for the writing, the atmosphere, and the chance to hear the work presented live rather than just reading about it afterward.
A few days later, a colleague mentioned CaZeus Casino during a conversation about UK-facing platforms. She hadn’t heard of it, so she looked it up later and approached it without much expectation.…
What an exciting launch! James Appleby's exploration of "Spurious Language" resonates deeply with how I feel when playing dordle —the fun in deciphering meaning from limited clues. His poetry invites a similar joy of discovery! Thanks for sharing this event!
I've been playing at https://fatpirate.co.com for a few months now, and I genuinely couldn't be happier with the experience. I came across it through a friend's recommendation and decided to give it a go – and I'm really glad I did. The selection of games is excellent, with a wide variety of options from well-known providers. Everything runs smoothly whether I'm on my desktop or using my phone, and I've never experienced any lag or glitches, which is something I can't say for other platforms I've tried.
Hi everyone. I was chatting with a colleague who loves playing slots with an oriental theme. She sent me a link to this place, saying it had a good collection of those games. I clicked the link to see if I could find my favourite Asian-themed slot machine.https://pyramidspins1.com/ has a dedicated category for these types of games, making it easy to browse. I played a slot involving dragons and tea kettles, which was quite relaxing. I was down to my last few spins and the tea wasn't pouring any wins. Then the dragon wilds appeared and filled three reels. It paid out a huge amount that made my afternoon here in the UK.
I discovered this platform through a UK sports and gaming forum where people were sharing various websites and comparing their layouts. I wasn’t planning to stay long, but I got curious about how the navigation flow is built. The structure is minimal, which makes it easier to move around without distraction. In the middle of checking different sections I opened https://xtraspin1.com to see how game categories are arranged. The experience felt stable and predictable, and the layout stayed consistent across pages.
