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.”

Working as poet in residence with Liz Watts in the EDS Gallery at Edinburgh Fringe 2016.
As a follow-up to 2015's collaboration with artist Liz Watts in the EDS Gallery at Edinburgh Fringe, I returned to the same venue in 2016 with Liz's fabulous exhibition Beached, again to be her poet in residence, and to run a satellite edition of my reading series Words & Ears as part of the Fringe programme. Poets Georgi Gill and J L Williams performed at that latter event - which was attended by some great open mic poets.
