How lovely to find ourselves creating beautiful flowers for the Hear, Women Poets, Here event in the wonderful surroundings of St. George's Church on Mappin Street in Sheffield on Thursday 8th October, National Poetry Day. The event, to celebrate both National Poetry Day and this year's appointment of Carol Ann Duffy as the first female Poet Laureate, is one not to miss. Some of the region's finest poets will be reading their work including our hugely talented neighbour, Sally Goldsmith. Don't miss out - bookings are through Signposts - 0114 253 6722.
