We’re very pleased to welcome poet Elijah Burrell to Skylark to celebrate the launch of his third collection of poetry, Skies of Blur, which navigates the depths of human connection and disconnection, love and loss, and the spaces between.

Burrell breathes life into every line, crafting a world both familiar and entirely new. While guiding us quietly between the realms of the natural and supernatural, these poems remind us of the chaos and uncertainty of modern life. 

Elijah will be joined by the publisher of the always amazing literrary magazine, The New Territory, Tina Casagrand Foss. Come and join us for a night of wonderful poetry!
