National Poetry Day Special Event:
'Novel Approach: Poetry for Fiction Readers'
Keeping with our tradition of special events for National Poetry Day, DGAA, in association with Dumfries and Galloway Library Service and the Scottish Poetry Library, presents 'Novel Approach'. Sometimes readers fancy trying poetry but don't know where to start. We've put together a list of twelve novels popular with book groups and paired them with poetry collections that, at the heart of them, share something with the novels. Elspeth Murray and Richard Medrington, popular poets and performers, have put together a special event where they'll read passages from the novels and match them with poems. If you want to try poetry but don't know where to start, this is the event for you. And if you already love poetry, it's a fresh approach. And, of course, it wouldn't be National Poetry day without the ever-popular Andrew Forster quiz!
