Looking For Sticks: 52 Poems for 52 Weeks
Rob Reed

Looking for Sticks is Rob Reed’s first poetry collection. Written in the year he turned 52, it combines photography and poetry to reflect on childhood, romance, creativity and memory. There’s also some stuff in there about dinosaurs, aliens and bananas too.

Rob has created a series of prints based on the book, and will be displaying them at The Priory. There will also be opportunities to hear him read from the book at 7pm.

Open 6pm-10pm, with performance 7pm-7:20pm

  • Mike Wood Wed 25th Sep 2024
    After studying art at Goldsmiths, London University, I went on to pursue a career in education. Since retiring from the teaching profession I now have time to indulge my passion for painting which I do most days in my studio at home. I mostly work in oils and my subjects are varied but I have recently focused on local landscapes close to home in West Yorkshire. I also produce small oil paintings of wildlife and still life subjects which I sell at local craft fairs. My painting style is probably best described as contemporary realism and my paintings are straightforward representations of subjects that appeal to me. I want the viewer to instantly recognise and understand the subject chosen, but without me having to include every detail which I feel can look fussy and overworked. In this way I strive to create interesting and appealing paintings that make full use of the qualities of oil paint.
