Join us for an evening of poetry as we celebrate National Poetry Day and Emma Purshouse's new collection of poetry, Unsung.
Emma will be performing poems fron Unsung and signing copies of her books.
Her new book celebrates the wonderful and sometimes surreal everyday lives of ordinary people in the Black Country and will delight her many fans and readers. With her usual sharp - and sometimes comic - eye, Emma catalogues the small triumphs and disasters of being human. This collection is a love poem for the Black Country, and for 'unsung' heroines, and heroes, everywhere.
