Four leading poets are coming to Gateshead City Learning Centre for the Out of this World Poetry Festival on January 19 - 21 2009. Aimed at years 3 to 6, the festival will give children a chance to work closely with professional poets, and to write their own poems which can be recorded as podcasts on the Festival website. The poets involved are Nick Toczek, Paul Cookson, Gez Walsh and Craig Bradley. Schools may sign up for one session.
