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

How long does it take to write a poem?
A week? A day? Five minutes?
Dawn talks about and reads poems she's written 'on the spot' with local groups and live on radio as part of her work with the Wiltshire at War: Community Stories project, and explains how you too could write 'found' poems in minutes.
Tickets are free, but please book your place at the library on (01225) 716700, or turn up on the day.
