POET OF THE SUBLIME TO THE RIDICULOUS

Writers from across Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire will gather in St Albans on Monday April 27 for a reading by distinguished poet Kit Wright. He is the author of more than 25 books for adults and children and the winner of numerous literary awards.

The free event at Waterstones in St Peter’s Street will also feature work by Ver Poets in St Albans, Ouse Muse from Bedford, Poetry ID from Letchworth and writers from Luton and Ware.

Kit Wright’s enjoyment of rhyme has led to him being compared to John Betjeman. The Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy called him “one of the best poets writing in Britain today.”

There will be a chance for members of the audience to read a short poem of their own – ideally on a theme of power or energy – or just come to listen. You’ll enjoy it! Some of Kit's poems are extremely funny!

Doors open at 7 pm and the performance starts at 7.30. Some refreshments will be provided and there is also a coffee bar in the store.
