    Press Release: Poetry Wednesbury Local poets Brendan Hawthorne and Geoff Stevens dreamed of providing a forum for writers and performers and created Poetry Wednesbury, which is now in its seventh year. Armed with a modest grant to purchase recording equipment, they are planning to make further inroads within the community by developing the positive promotion of poetry as an art form. They are planning to offer the opportunity for writers to further develop and hone their performance skills by making a series of videos and CD’s. It is also aiming to produce an annual ‘best of’’ CD, containing highlights of live shows. DVDs of the locale are also planned, requiring poetry for overlaying across the images. They are also looking to work towards producing exhibitions of work as well as touring projects and performances to wider audiences in the area. A thrice-yearly newsletter containing news, reviews and poetry will be produced in printable download format, hard copy or audio for those with sight impairment, all available on request. Poetry Wednesbury holds its monthly meetings in Wednesbury Library on Walsall Street on the last Wednesday of the month (except December) at 7.30 pm with its usual open mic philosophy. The evenings are open to everyone, performer or audience member, and entrance is free of charge. Anyone interested in joining Brendan and Geoff and working on these projects should contact them for an informal discussion and further details, or simply come along to the next meeting and experience Poetry Wednesbury for themselves.NETWORK WITH US ON YOUR POETRY GIGS!
