The Essex Poetry Festival is coming to Witham with a talk by an award winning poet.
Derek Adams will be reading and discussing his work with the Tuesday Afternoon Reading Group, and it is inviting anyone who would like to attend on Tuesday from 2.30pm to go along.
Derek lived in Essex for 28 years, but he has recently moved to Stansfield, Suffolk. Widely published in the UK and abroad, his poems were featured in Ambit, Magma, Railto, Smiths Knoll and many others and he was BBC Wildlife Poet of the Year in 2006.
His collections include Unconcerned but not Indifferent - the life of Man Ray (2006), Everyday Objects, Chance Remarks (2005) and Postcards to Olympus (2004).
The event, at Witham Library, is free of charge and is expected to last just over an hour.
