About this event
The National Poetry Library holds the largest public collection of modern poetry in the world, and once in a while it puts the hidden things and the new acquisitions out on tables where you can look at them. A day for people who like objects as much as poems — rare editions, odd pamphlets, concrete poetry that does not scan on a screen.
Why we picked it
A rare open day on the world's largest public modern poetry collection, free.
