Beyond the Blue

Beyond the Blue comes to Beeforth's Hive on Saturday 31 October, a reading of poems from the collection of the same name. It's an afternoon session, starting at 2:00 PM and running for about 45 minutes, so it's a relatively short one that fits into the middle of the day rather than taking up your whole evening.

The reading draws from Beyond the Blue, a collection the author describes as covering a wide range of themes. That's a fair bit of ground to get through in under an hour, and the poems are written from the heart, with the author saying they're intended to make the audience both laugh and cry. It's that kind of mix that usually works best when read aloud—the lighter moments sitting right next to the heavier ones.

If you're into poetry, it's a good chance to hear the work spoken rather than read on the page. The author will be reading from the collection themselves, so you'll get the poems exactly as they were intended to sound. It's a free event, with tickets available through scarboroughfair.uk, and it runs from 2:00 PM at Beeforth's Hive in Scarborough.
