Poets’ Café – South Street Arts Centre, Reading.
Friday 19th JanuaryThis month, the first of 2007 (obviously), is more of the same Poets’ Café magic – the longest running poetry open mic in Berkshire, open to newcomers, old hands, regulars, irregulars, professionals and first-timers, topped of with a reading from a big name – this month our special guest is John Stammers.
His first collection (2001) was awarded the Forward Prize for Best First Collection and shortlisted for the Whitbread Poetry Award; his second is a Poetry Book Society Choice. A creative writing tutor and freelance writer, he lives in Islington, London, where he was born. Also see John Stammers' website.
Poets’ Café is warm, welcoming and a good place to come and get involved with poetry, whether you want to read it out or just listen to it, or even, heaven forfend, meet poets (or whatever reason). Jolly good, says AF HARROLD.
South Street Arts Centre, South Street, Reading. Doors 8pm, poetry 8.30pm. Entrance fee: £6/£4.
