An Evening with the Beehive Poets: Poetry Playground
An evening of playful poetry readings with Bradford's renowned poetry collective, the Beehive Poets.
The Beehive Poets, Bradford’s renowned local poetry collective, hosted this playful interactive poetry reading and helped us create an exciting poetic soundscape in City Library.
Those who took up the challenge were asked to come and share their favourite poem(s) and join in this medley of poetry as they explored the connections and musicality of their favourite verses.
