Woking Writers Circle member Heather Cook will be launching her award-winning pamphlet, Out of the Ordinary, at a special Zoom event on Saturday 2 December at 7pm.

It will come as no surprise to fellow WWC members that there has already been plenty of praise for Heather’s debut collection. Local poet and poetry organiser Sharron Green said: “The title Out of the Oridnary perfectly encapsulates both the apparently ordinary themes and the extraordinary quality of the writing. Heather’s warm wit bathes the mundane in a dashing cloak of quirkiness.”

Former WWC member Greg Freeman, who now lives in Northumberland but who keeps in touch with events down south, said: “Warmth and humanity permeate these assured and crafted poems by Heather Cook … Her poems offer comfort without sentimentality, plus wisdom and truth.”
