Spring into Poetry: Live at the Library
by Kate Swann
Four poets met at Harrogate library on Friday 10th April to inform and entertain the audience about writing poetry. Peter Burgham, Steve Singleton, and Peter Donnelly were led in the discussion by Kate Swann.

The session began with a reading from each of the poets, followed by discussion about where they get their inspiration and ideas from, and how long it takes for these to be transformed into a poem. The consensus seemed to be that, although it varied, there was generally some weeks or months between the initial idea being formed and the finished poem, if it is ever finished, being committed to paper.
Following another reading the discussion moved on to how these poems were brought together in a book and whether or not independent publishing was preferred to going through a publisher. Small local publishers were preferred but on the whole independent publishing was the most common.
A further reading rounded off the session followed by questions from the audience and a good round of applause in appreciation. One-to-one discussion with the poets and some book sales completed the afternoon.
