What people say
"I love working with Rosemary Dun - she runs workshops for all the right reasons and because of that, she creates a great atmosphere for creating poetry."
Francesca Beard, poet.
"There are very few poetry practitioners that are as good at the art of poetry and creating educational environs that actually work as Rosemary Dun. I am always delighted when called upon to work alongside Rosemary. Hers are not vanity projects they are there for the express reason of making performance poetry a valid and creative force to be reckoned with. Rosemary is one of the great unsung heros of British poetry."
