The group "Poetry in Palmers Green" will be taking over the Community Room and treating visitors to An Afternoon of Lively Readings.

The readings will be given by Maggie Butt, Katherine Gallagher, Sonia Jarema, Mike Loveday, Cheryl Moskowitz, Myra Schneider, Christine Vial and others.  And there will be a short open-mike session - if you'd like to take part, get there early and reserve your slot.

The event is completely free.  Refreshments will be available and there will be books for sale.

A Day of Poetry Workshops

There will be two workshops, both with limited capacity, so you're advised to book asap.

  • 10.30am -1pm
    THE POSSIBILITIES OF COLOUR:
    Myra Schneider
    Using poems, art cards, memories and our own reactions we will examine how colour can be used with effect in poetry. There will be time to start a poem.
  • 2pm - 4.30pm
    MASKS
    Katherine Gallagher
    Poetry is largely about transformation.  Using masks we will experiment with a range of voices and look at ‘example’ poems which take us into this different territory, leading to new work.

COST for each workshop £22 (£18 conc.)

BOOKING Advance booking only.
