Birmingham Poet Laureate Roy McFarlane performs with Amsterdam City Poet Frank Starik

 

It’s that time of the year again. Birmingham Libraries are currently seeking the next Birmingham Poet Laureate.

The new laureate will compete for the title against other hopefuls, performing around the city on National Poetry Day (6 October) and ending up at our Festival Launch for a special live announcement that evening.  

 Full Details about the scheme and how to apply can be found here. The deadline is 12th August 2011.

This is a unique opportunity to get involved with the writing community in Birmingham and promote poetry in the city. Good luck!
