Caroline Smith has been organising the Poetry in Wembley Series '160+One with Brent Library Service. The idea is to give voice to the 160 different first languages spoken in Brent through the unifying language of Poetry.
The first events were very successful with the Queen's Gold Medallist poet Imtiaz Dharker earlier in the year, and poets from Sri Lanka, Hong Kong and Pakistan reading their works.
On the evening of 16th of October, Erica Hesketh and Caroline Smith will be launching their new books published by Nine Arches Press, 6:30 - 7:30pm at the Civic Centre .
Caroline's previous collection was shortlisted for the Ted Hughes Award and many of the individual poems in this collection have already been published in journals and won prizes in poetry competitions.
