World Poetry Day!

Yesterday was World Ballet Day, as you'll have noticed from our last blogpost.  (Ah, ballet - poetry in motion!)  There's something rather nice about World Ballet Day being followed by World Poetry Day.  The Whittaker Library - not surprisingly, in a library for dramatic and musical performers - has plenty of poetry.

• Take a look at our poetry collection HERE.
• Visit the Scottish Poetry Library website HERE.
• We wouldn't want our musicians to feel left out, so here are some musical limericks to brighten their day:- click HERE.
• Karen has a particular interest in bardic things, so let's revive her posting about Welsh bards while we're at it!  HERE.
