Poetry Night and Charity Auction (Take II)!



Rescheduled from the snowed-off event late last year (huge apologies to those who didn't get the cancellation - this one is happening even if Godzilla drops by), a rather unique and important poetry event. Important because it's raising money for something that will make a big difference to someone's future. Unique because there'll be an auction of various items, many of which have yet to be announced, but already including a signed John Cage MS and a handwritten sonnet by Toby Litt. Here's the Facebook event and here are all the details you need:
