The first poetry event at the refurbished Palmers Green Library takes place on Saturday afternoon (13th February) between 2 and 4pm. And in April the library will play host to an afternoon of poetry workshops by well know poets and experienced tutors Katherine Gallagher and Myra Schneider.
"Lively readings"
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.
