@VerseCycle / Caroline Burrows / Poet Performer Writer Teacher

Last month, I was given a chance by Raw Acts to perform live part of my epic poem, Venus and the Moon at Eden Court. It was great to try it out, with me wearing a blue wig channeling Planet Earth as the narrator, and a lovely review from The Highland Times.
#poetry #rawacts #artsdevelopment

I've been writing an epic poem based on astronomy/astrology/star mythologies. I'm performing the first 15 mins as part of the Raw Acts event at Eden Court. There'll be other performers doing their 15 mins as well
The event is free and is from 5pm-7pm.

Have a great festival.
