An Evening with the Beehive Poets: Poetry Playground
An evening of playful poetry readings with Bradford's renowned poetry collective, the Beehive Poets.
Join the Beehive Poets, Bradford’s renowned local poetry collective, for this playful interactive poetry reading and help us create an exciting poetic soundscape in City Library.
If you take up the challenge we will ask you to come and share your favourite poem(s) and join in this medley of poetry as we explore the connections and musicality of our favourite verses.
If you are joining in with the Poetry Playground and wish to read, please can you choose up to three poems (1 short and maximum 2 long) to bring along with you and share. There will also be an opportunity to use the library before the event and choose something form their poetry collection should you wish.
