AN AUTHOR and poet from Reading is launching two new books with a glitzy private event this month.

Claire Dyer, a novelist, poet and teacher, is celebrating the release of her latest works: a novel and collection of poetry.

She curated Reading’s Poets’ Cafe from 2016-2021 and hosted its online counterpart from 2020-2023, as well as teaching creative writing.

The first of the new works is What We Thought We Knew, a novel which follows the residents of three houses in Penwood Heights and explores friendship and loss.

It charts their journeys as Faith, the centre of the group, sees a re-emergence of someone from her past, threatening to sabotage everything.

As well as the novel, Ms Dyer is also marking the release of a new collection of poetry, releasing later this month and published by Reading’s own Two Rivers Press.
