LIVE EVENTS
The Next Evening With........
An Evening With The Poetry of the legendary American poet Billy Collins
at the Oystercatcher, Teignmouth, TQ14 8DD
7.30pm, 1st May 2024, On the door entry £3.00 (Doors open 7.00opm)
This live event is hosted by Marc Woodward who has chosen to feature the work of Billy Collins - one of America's most celebrated poets. A writer who welcomes humour, the mundane and the ordinary whilst at the same time - cutting deep into curiosity and cruelty. Collins has garnered more literary prizes than most of his his contemporaries. Now in his mid-80's he is still regularly producing acclaimed new collections.
There is a wealth of Billy Collins poetry to check out on-line. Choose one that grabs your attention and bring it along to read. Microphone & PA available. No one need to feel compelled to 'stand-up' - simply come to the gig and learn more about the wit and wisdom poet, plus the poems that took America by storm.
