## Resource

Poetry, as Percy Bysshe Shelley once said, lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar . And so, off we go, to try and defamiliarise the things which stare us in the face every blummin’ day. Relationships. Words. Coffee. Social Media. Prejudice. Siblings. Aging. Home. Industrial Estates. Nature. Sex. Love. Yep. We’re off to a poetry night, aren’t we? To find out what they’re all about. Who goes to them. What the poetry is like, and whether it’s something every writer should have a go at. Poetry Jam in Durham to be precise. Wish us luck!   Here’s Kate Fox’s lovely new book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sycamore-Gap-2024-celebration-those/dp/0008735611   Here’s organiser Steve Urwin: @urwin_steve on X. http://steveurwintalkingpen.blogspot.com/   And here are the guest poets:    Rach Lydon.  Insta & Threads:  @rachwritesreal   Gaeron Southern:  https://gaeransouthern.wordpress.com   Julie Egdell:   https://aliceinwinterland.weebly.com Hosted on Acast.
