A Poetry Café with Alyson Hallet

Thursday 21 January 2010 at 7.30pm
In The Johnson Studio of The Octagon Theatre, Hendford, YEOVIL, BA20 1UZ

alysonAlyson Hallett grew up in Street, Somerset. Her childhood was infused with the shoe factory, the view of Glastonbury Tor in the distance and the lattice of rhynes that criss-crossed the Levels. Did this influence her poetry?

She has been heard on Radio 4 recounting her work on the migration of stones.  Fascinating poetry.

Come along on what could be a cold wintry evening and be warmed by her words and candlelight. 

All our Café events are sponsored by the YCAA so the full price for a ticket is £4. There is a bar available where wine or juice can be purchased to accompany the nibbles provided at each table.

We welcome our regulars and all new-comers to our Prose Cafés.
