Poetry Bites, hosted and programmed by Jacqui Rowe, combines readings by leading poets with floor spots from the audience.  Each Poetry Bites features one or two guest poets, who read at length from their work.  The large audience is always appreciative and receptive, making it a good opportunity for new and established poets to read from the floor.  Jacqui strives to include new and well-known, local and national poets amongst the guest poets.  Guests have included Roz Goddard, Phillip Gross, Heather Taylor, Meredith Andrea, Mario Petrucci and Jane Holland.

Next Poetry Bites - 25th November at 7.30, Kitchen Garden Cafe, York Road, Kings Heath Birmingham.  This month's guest is JONATHAN MORLEY
