Held on April 11th 2017, at Swedenborg Hall, SJ Fowler launched his poetry collection 'The Guide to Being Bear Aware' with a performance and reading as part of the Shearsman Books longstanding event series. www.stevenjfowler.com/bearaware

A beautiful room to launch my latest collection within, and in generous company, I turned out a performance with increasing levels of bear awareness, from a bear poster, to collaborating with my friend Emanuel the Bear, to bringing the room's bear to human ratio into line, to transforming myself into a bear. Very grateful to see so many friends there, to have Tony Frazer do such a fine job on my book and to read alongside the great John Hall. www.stevenjfowler.com/bearaware
