Poetry has always reached across borders. But words alone cannot save life. Please consider sponsoring me and this spectacular array of poets reading for 8 minutes each between 2-10pm at Ye Olde Rose and Crown, 53 Hoe Street, Walthamstow E17 4SA on Saturday November 12, 2016. Pints and poetry, vino and verse...what's not to like? Besides, you'll be giving to one of the most important charities in operation in the world's current crises.
