Poetry at the Abbey
22-24 October 1999
with Guest Poet David Constantine
The Programme for the Weekend
The weekend has been designed to provide a full but relaxed programme of writing whilst allowing plenty of time to explore the Abbey, the beautiful surroundings of Sutton Courtenay and the nearby Thames. Participants should not feel that any part of the programme is compulsory, and should take time out as they wish.
