Big Poetry returns! This monthly gathering of poets and performers has been going for ten years and keeps going from strength to strength! Join us on March 14th for another night of whimsy and wordplay, rhyming and whatnot, hosted as ever by Samantha Boarer and Robert Garnham, and featuring some of the finest hand picked local poets.

And this month we will have a headline set from the amazing Liv Torc!

She runs the mental health and poetry night, The Rainbow Fish Speak Easy in Yeovil and produces the hugely successful Hip Yak Poetry Stage at WOMAD festival. She is also the brains and brawn behind the Hip Yak Poetry School, an ACE funded project aimed at supporting South West poets to achieve sustainable careers.

Over her career in spoken word Liv has appeared all over the UK and a bit in Europe, performing at the Roundhouse in London, Cheltenham Literary Festival, Glastonbury Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe.

She has delivered workshops and long running poetry projects in schools, colleges, libraries, art centres, doctor’s surgeries and theatres, culminated in performances at, among others, the House of Commons and the 2012 Paralympics.
