Dawn Gorman believes poetry should be everywhere - puts it on beermats, uses it to
work with people with memory loss, facilitates writing workshops, organises poetry
events and runs international poetry competitions. She is widely published, and has
performed in New York, Paris, London - and lots of smaller places in between.

“Poetry isn't a profession, it's a way of life. It's an empty basket;
you put your life into it and make something out of that.” Mary Oliver

Words & Ears, our monthly poetry reading series, and the Bradford on Avon Photography Group were curious: what would happen if we collaborated and shared skills? We paired up photographers and poets and left them to experiment... Join us in the Coach House for an exhibition of our fascinating collaborative work, PLUS the chance for you to join in:

* Drop-in Street-photography Workshop, Saturday 18th May, 11am-12 noon.

* Poetry Performance: Saturday 18th May, 7.30pm. Everyone welcome: hear poems written by our talented Words & Ears poets in collaboration with local photographers, plus open mic - bring a poem of your own.

* Drop-in Haiku Jam and Poetry Spa, Sunday 19th May, 11-3 Relax into your writing - soothing music, essential oils, and the chance to try your hand at writing a poem with the help of our resident poets, or bring pieces of writing you are stuck on. We can help. Ah! poetry-spa!

Gifts to buy include photographs/poems, photographers' prints, poetry books and our new booklet featuring our gorgeous, collaborative poetry-photography pieces.
