Literature Group

WORDS, oceans of spoken, written, sung WORDS

? in novels, plays, notes, poems, headlines, crosswords…
? current or traditional, formal or informal, in print or in memory, local or foreign….

The Lit Group aims to celebrate words in all their variety, to bring professional wordsmiths and actors to inspire our own efforts and to crush into the “LITERATURE” category all the things we’d really like to do, see and hear. Come on, join in!

Feel free to call 01625 573413 with any queries or email jose.spinks@ntlworld.com who can let you know the current state of play or put you in touch with people working on particular lit.projects.

POSTAPOEMS

"Last Festival's Postapoems involved pinning up poems every day of the Festival in prearranged and suprise places throughout Bollington, indoors and out. Take a look at the kind of poem sthat peppered Bollngton's nooks and crannies in May 2005. (attached)

This Festival Terry McGaul is coordinating this venture. If you would like to be part of the fun, either by contributing your favourite poem or by volunteering to be a "Postapoem Pixie" (one who nips around during the Festival renewing the poems) then please do contact Terry directly - terrymcgaul@f2s.com

There is no job description for this - all pixie varieties are welcome. But poems need to fit on an A4 display page, and mustn't "scare the horses", literal or ethical!

Postapoems from 2005
