AUGUST
The Poetry Swindon Open Mic night on 10th August was at the Old Vic and about the open mic! We invited you to come and read some of your own work, as well as the work of someone else who influences/inspires you.
On 28th August at 7:15pm in the Central Library for "Poetry Postcards"
Carrie Etter joined us to launch "Poetry Postcards" which are beautiful works of art on both sides!
Plus we launched the Poetry Festival Magazine with poems by the participating poets and a pull-out of the events.
