POETRY ISLAND ftr RACHEL PANTECHNICON

Poetry Island host Ian Beech is delighted to present November's sensational headliner Rachel Pantechnicon and a fine cast of supporting local poets.

Rachel, 48, with a veritable cornucopia of verses, stories and observations. Specialises in motivational poems for cats and for people. Rachel is many things: the best-dressed woman on the poetry circuit; the woman who won the 2004 Glastonbury Festival Poetry Slam, although she only entered it for the experience (and was perhaps the only person on site wearing court-shoes); and the author of the well-known story-books about Cheesegrater Leg-Iron Lion. She has had her poetry broadcast on Radios 1, 3 and 4, and is still holding out for Radio 2.
