An Evening With Brian Patten

When : 21st April 2010 - 7:30pm
Where : Crosby Civic Hall, Waterloo
Price : £10.00

Brian Patten is one of the most accessible and popular poets working today. He made his name in the 60s in the Liverpool trio with Adrian Henri & Roger McGough and has been writing & performing poetry ever since.

Their main aim was to make poetry immediate and accessible for their audience, and their joint anthology, The Mersey Sound (1967), has been credited as the most significant anthology of the twentieth century for its success in bringing poetry to new audiences. Brian Patten's individual strength within this trio lay in his ability to write and perform a powerful mix of serious and humorous work. His poems have since been translated into many European languages.

Join Brian for the evening, as he reads some of his best known work and answers your questions on his career so far. A booksigning will take place after the event, with Broadhurst Book Shop providing a range of works to purchase.
