Picture taken by participating poet, Johnan, at The Summer Poetry Reading Event, at North Library, Islington, on 26th August 2023. 

The picture is of a few of the poetry readers and audience from the Summer Reading Poetry Event.  John, front and centre, was one of the scheduled poets, reading his own original summer poem.  Three other people in this group volunteered to read summer poems that were my surprise audience participation element. These were poems by famous authors who are not generally known to be poets.

If you would like to read the feedback from the participants, you can download it here.
