Get on the Roundabout and celebrate this year�s National Poetry Day.
With a series of slightly anarchic poetry events throughout the day, and a free event at a boutique b&b in the evening, RAG Roundabout is again shouting about poetry from the rooftops of West Sussex.
Since 2001, Roundabout founder Dan Thompson has joined in the Poetry Society�s annual poetry day, staging free performances across the area. He�s built a reputation as one of the most interesting performers joining the event. And this year, he�ll be scattering poems on postcards around Worthing town centre cafes, posting poems on the internet and staging a series of readings.
He�ll round the day off with a special RAG Roundabout event at The Acacia, a boutique b&b recently rated as one of the best in Britain. Steve Carroll, a performance poet, will join Dan at the seaside bed and breakfast. Russ Bravo from Verit@s will also appear, and other guests are yet to be confirmed.
�I want to ambush people with verse,� says Dan, �and make them enjoy it � before they realise they�re listening to, or even reading, the dread poetry.�
The Roundabout National Poetry Day event takes place at The Acacia, Warwick Gardens, Worthing from 7 � 9pm on Thursday 7th October. Admission is free - but places are limited so arrive early. Other events will happen around Worthing throughout the day.
