A couple of adjustments to the Hay Poetry Jamboree line-up posted above:
Zoe Brigley has withdrawn, so John Goodby is now delivering the lecture on Friday 4th at 5pm on this subject: “Undispellable lost dream:” Reading Welsh Alternative Poetry.

Also, Zoe Skoulding will be launching Poetry Wales and introducing guest readers Carol Watts and Jean Portante on the afternoon of June 5th
