WORD! with: Everyone Needs a Disco Ball: Launch Party!
Description
Join WORD! With Rob Gee and friends for the premier launch of ‘Everyone Needs a Disco Ball' and put the pop back into poetry!
‘Everybody Needs a Disco Ball’ is a unique collection of poems, published by WORD! Poetry and brought to you by the Comedy Asylum: a team of comedians, writers and people with mental health conditions who create and perform comedy shows.
The poems in this collection were written by groups of people in a variety of mental health settings. Those in the room contributed ideas, jokes, lines and rhymes, while resident poet, the multi-award winning, Rob Gee) composed the poem in real time. Anyone could join in, and together we created a world where anything could happen.
