Help Leicestershire Poet Celebrate First Collection – or Else!

Don’t worry – it’s not a threat! In fact, Mark Goodwin, one of Leicestershire’s best-loved poets, celebrates the publication of his first collection of poems - entitled ‘Else’ - at Loughborough Library, Granby Street Loughborough, on Monday July 7th. The launch will take place from 7-9pm; admission is free and refreshments will be provided.

As well as being a widely-published poet, Mark is a mountain climber, and many of his poems show his appreciation of nature and the landscape. He has been BBC Wildlife Poet of the year, and his writing about the natural world gives the reader some beautiful images.

Mark is also a very popular workshop leader – many people in Leicestershire and beyond, children and adults alike, will have written their first poem with Mark’s guidance and encouragement.

Mark is talented and charismatic, and it’s great to be able to celebrate his collection being published – not least because he’s done so much to encourage other people to write as well.

Come along an listen to Mark reading, and celebrate the publication of ‘Else’. Admission free, all welcome.
