The BBC have recently launched their four-part series "My Life In Verse", featuring poetry selections by Sheila Hancock, Robert Webb, Malorie Blackman and Cerys Williams.
Malorie Blackman has included the poem "My people"
from "Tails" in her selection, and it appears in the supporting
anthology now available in bookshops or
here on Amazon.co.uk
In support of Poetry Aid, I'm giving a solo reading at Birnam Arts - here's the full event listing.
I hope to sell some copies of Tails on the night for Poetry Aid, and Birnam Arts are also kindly donating 10% of their takings from the event to UNICEF.
