WOMEN'S poetry will be celebrated by Barbara Jefford and Geraldine McEwan as part of the 50th Stratford Poetry Festival.

The anthology of 20th Century women's verse in English has been prepared by Richard Digby Day as a sequel to his programme of women's poetry from 1600 to 1900, presented by the pair in the festival three years ago.

Making A Song Of It takes place at the Shakespeare Centre in Henley Street, Stratford, on Sunday at 7.30pm.
