Cafe Writers presents an afternoon / evening of readings with a theme of nature at Norwich Arts Centre with four leading authors and poets.

Mark Cocker – Guardian Country Diarist and author of Crow Country and Birds Britannica explores the ‘poetry of fact’; Award-winning poet Katrina Porteous’  recaptures the lost language of a Northumbrian fishing community and sings the music of water; Bird Watching journalist Matt Merritt lets feathered and metaphorical birds flit through his poems and Next Generation poet Paul Farley escapes the inner city on the back of a cranky heron.

Not to be missed.  Bring your binoculars and a picnic.  Drink from the bar only until 11.

"Yes, you can actually bring a picnic.  The binoculars can be metaphorical."

3pm Matt Merritt and Katrina Porteous   £4            6.30 pm Paul Farley and Mark Cocker     £6

Ticket for both events £8 from Norwich Arts Centre Box Office: 01603 660352
