Poets’ Café Plus.
Friday 21st April sees the next Poets’ Café at South Street, with special guests Polly Clark and Esther Morgan who will be reading in tandem (On a tandem would be fun too. - Ed.)and in excitement (??!@? - Ed.) and art. There will also be the usual one poem open mic for those who want to join in. Doors open at 8pm, poetry begins at 8.30pm sharp. £5 for normal people, £3 for concessions and reading poets.
On the Sunday following, 23rd April, Esther Morgan will be holding a workshop for poets who’re looking for a bit of inspiration and a kick up the thesaurus and some supportive advice. This will also be happening at South Street Arts Centre, between 2 and 5pm. Places must be booked in advance and cost £16, including refreshments. There are only a very few places left in the class so if you would like to book one of them then please drop me an e-mail very soon. Thanks.

NB: This Friday’s Poets’ Café has a special early element. BBC South Today want to do a live broadcast from the show which is very cool. Anyone who wants the chance to read poetry live on the BBC telly for no payment then you’ll need to come down to South Street by 5.45pm on Friday. (Which means you might get to read two poems – one early, one late – if you like.)
Anyone who does come down can have free entry to Poets’ Café for the evening and the bar will be open between the BBC filming and the main event a little later on, if that’s any incentive. We do need to try to get as many people along as we can to make it look exciting and a fun thing.
I’d appreciate a line from anyone thinking of coming along, just so we can get an idea of numbers.
Cheers, AFH.
