The double bill also includes The Devil's Storybook Experience by Annika Brown: original edgy songs performed on acoustic guitar and accordion interlinked with snippets of John Agard’s devilish poetry.

Led by Mimi Khalvati.

A popular course of holistic poetry seminars with the emphasis on continuity and developing work in progress. Next dates are Saturdays 21 April, 12 May and 14 July.

Mimi's courses are aimed at experienced poets and are frequently oversubscribed; however, sometimes there are a couple of places available. Poets interested should contact LLL direct.
