Plus Open Mic Poetry!

Chichester Library, Tower Street, Chichester, PO19 1QJ

Celebrate National Poetry Day by joining South Downs poets, special guests and friends. Well-known South Downs novelist/TV & Radio producer Simon Brett will introduce. Festival director and Shelley Memorial Project patron Barry Smith will be launching his brand new collection, Reeling and Writhing (Vole Books/Dempsey and Windle), which spins off ideas and themes suggested by Lewis Carroll’s classic Alice books. Live music from Linda Kelsall-Barnett on classical guitar and open mic poetry combine to offer a stimulating mix of words and music. Readers and listeners equally welcome.

Tickets £6 (to include a glass of wine) are available from The Library, 01243 777351.
