Poet Laureate in library dash for World Poetry Day

Mark will also use the event to launch his first compilation, Somewhere South of Normal.

“The idea is to read at each library for 15 minutes or so, then chat with people before heading to the next reading,” Mark said.

“The support from the Library Service has been great and we’ve organised a couple of poetry reading sessions before in CMK and at Woburn Sands.

“I hope we can do more in the future as our library service do a fantastic job of keeping libraries at the heart of our communities.”
