ASKING a Shadow to Dance, Oxfam's first poetry DVD, is launched this month.

Following the success of the Oxfam Life Lines audio CDs, 35 fine young poets, including Stroud's Adam Horovitz, have come together on one DVD to raise money for Oxfam.

Adam recorded two poems for the collection, The Death of Icarus, and a poem about a hangover, called Dandylion Clock.

Filmed at various locations on the South Bank, Norwich and the Oxfam bookshop in Marylebone High Street, the DVD features unique individual performances from the contributors, who include Joe Dunthorne, one of the new generation of Facebook poets, Luke Wright, who also runs the spoken word stage at Latitude Festival, and prize winning poet Daljit Nagra.

Asking a Shadow to Dance is available from Oxfam in Stroud, price £11.99.
