Even though all in person events surrounding the launch of my booklet Lament were cancelled, we did manage to do a socially distanced event at the SeaFever Festival at the Wells Maltings. Here is a recording of my interview and reading with the wonderful Vicky Rangely-Wilson. Watch it here

Here is a reading which was part of the Rough Trade Books Launch on May 7th 2020. The book is available for purchase from http://roughtradebooks.com/editions/lament/ and all profits I receive will be donated to MIND.
Lament
My poetry pamphlet Lament will be published by Rough Trade Books in May 2020 and I’m delighted that the virtual launch will be on 6th May 2020 at 6pm London time at http://roughtradebooks.com in their Events section. Here is the publisher’s blurb:
‘Briony Bax leads the reader through the brutal world of mental illness and specifically an account of an individual’s journey with schizophrenia. A world where sections, court rooms, locked wards, tribunals and assessment centres form the backdrop of the daily living of sufferers and caregivers. Through honesty and testimony, it shines a light on the disastrous effects of government austerity measures on the mentally ill.”
You can purchase a copy at http://roughtradebooks.com/editions/lament/ and all money I receive will be donated to MIND. I’m available for readings both virtually and in person after lock down.
