William Sieghart The Poetry Pharmacy
In the years since he first had the idea of prescribing short, powerful poems for all manner of spiritual ailments, William Sieghart has taken his Poetry Pharmacy around the length and breadth of Britain, into the pages of the Guardian, onto BBC Radio 4 and onto the television, honing his prescriptions all the time. The Poetry Pharmacy has been embraced from everyone from Stephen Fry to Helena Bonham Carter. Take a gentle trip up the River Avon and let William prescribe you a poem to ease your ailments whether you are suffering from loneliness, lack of courage, heartbreak, hopelessness, or even from an excess of ego. There is something here to ease and comfort. Numbers are limited.
