Petra Palkovacsova - A Poetic Soul at TheZineUK Expo

Cor, ain’t we lucky?

The ZineUK events always have a whimsical element, a place for minds meeting, plans forming and adventures adventuring. Our Expo is no different. Through TheBigBadSad. I was introduced to the lovely, multi-talented Petra Palkovacsova. Who will be performing on stage at the Amersham, when our Zeenagers assemble on 7th March.

When I said Petra was a multi-talent earlier, I probably understated it. Petra is a poet, a researcher, a curator, a published author and founder of publishing house Femmesocial Press amongst so much more. She’s performed at the European Poetry Festival and her book Mythologies, a modern, poetical retelling of fairytales is so good that the original run of 200 books has sold out.

That was the only time in my life when I thought
it would be lovely to get old and
swim in the wrinkles of one that you love
— To Write a Book, Petra Palkovacsova

Mythologies, sold out - but more coming soon!

Obviously, we may be bias, but we say the place to catch Petra next is at our Expo, where she will be performing - so get your tickets below:

for months you drowned in beauty
for months you ate the fish
for months you were a maiden and white
— Swans and other stories, Petra Palkovacsova
