New Poetry with Roz Goddard

Poetry in the West Midlands is flourishing. Four poets will share the stage to discuss their influences and starting points. The audience will be played in with pieces of music selected by each poet who will read from their latest work, talk about the process of creating poems, finding an audience and their strangest inspirations.
