RAG�s popular arts club Roundabout will host the launch of �Ragged Edges�, a new anthology of work by Sussex poets, this month.

Adrian Crick, Eugenie Arrowsmith, Steve Carroll and Dan Thompson all feature in the book, which is published by RAG. The four poets, who write in very different styles, will all perform on the poetry stage at Roundabout, which takes place at The Barn, Field Place, Worthing from 7 � 10pm on Friday 28th November. 

RAG�s Tracey Thompson says �While the launch of �Ragged Edges� ensures that spoken word is in the spotlight at Roundabout this month, there will be plenty of musical interludes and art activities for children all night, too�.

Sue Hockleyford, who plays acoustic guitar and electric violin, will perform on Roundabout�s main stage. Dan Belton, well known as a poet and painter with the Stuckist art movement, will also be appearing with his band. And 16-year-old singer-songwriter Rachel Hawker will make her Roundabout debut.

Another young performer, poet Francesca Zoutewelle, will perform original verse. Francesca is a member of the National Youth Theatre, and she recently came first in the Speaking Your Own Poem, Prose and Group Choral Speaking categories in the Worthing Music Festival.

Roundabout is a family-friendly event, and admission for adults costs �5 and for children just 50p. Tickets are available on the door.
