A Talk on "The Listeners" by Giles de la Mare,
Followed by a Poetry Recital of Walter de la Mare
Poems Written During this Period
The evening will be half talk/half poetry recital. Giles's talk will be a shortened version of
his original talk. We hope to raise the profile of de la Mare and highlight the importance
of his time in the Penge area. This is the fourth time we have held such an event. It is
held at the Holy Trinity centre in Lennard Roaf, Penge, at 7.30pm.
The walk will be on Saturday June 1st, meeting outside the Moon and Stars pub on Penge
High Street at 10.00am. We walk a route taking in the houses where Walter de la Mare
lived between 1899 and 1925.
Both events are free but donations are gladly received towards the Penge Festival.
