This months guests at Dead Good Poets Society in Liverpool are Martin Daws (pictured) and Cathy Roberts.

MARTIN DAWS  is a performance poet who truly embraces the sounds of the words as a complex music of meaning. He uses spoken word to connect with the world on a deeper level and has developed a style of poetry that is essentially a "music of speaking". Martin lives in Gwynedd & works as a professional workshop facilitator in music and writing. He uses ‘intense rhythmic patterns and compacted rhyme sequences, drawn from hip hop and jazz influences, counter pointed to fluid lyrical passages of poetry written in more literate forms.' Last month he came second in the Poetry Slam at Glastonbury - so please welcome him back to Liverpool!

* CATHY ROBERTS *, a former winner of the Nothing Rhymes With Poets competition, uses humour to create poetic dramatic monologues. She has recently restored a boat and sailed it from the East coast, around the top of Scotland and is currently docked in Liverpool, so expect some salty words!

Sarah MacLennan says, "Hope that you can come to be part of this event. We are sure you will find it inspiring!"
