Why not pop along to Marsden Write Out Loud tonight, 20 March at the Marsden Library, Peel Street at 7.30pm? Last month we had an incredible 26 people – in fact, 26 incredible people – for a packed but deeply satisfying set of readings. There must be something in the Pennine air that percolates poetry into the people; or it’s too cold to go out most of the time so there’s nowt else for it but do our maithering with a pen and paper. Aye, ‘appen that’s what it is. Entry £2 to Write Out Loud funds. Be there or, er, be somewhere else. Whatever you do, BE. See?
