What better time than the first day after the vernal equinox to celebrate Spring, Easter, March giving way to April, and the inexhaustible poetry of renewal.
Celebrate the first spring of the new decade by coming along to listen to the sudden flowering of a thousand (well, not quite) springtime odes from our invited guest readers, and join in the springly exuberance of our not-too-competitive not-too-literary prize quiz with suitably themed spring songs.
