A POET is making a return visit to Darlington to laugh at life.

Steve Holden will be at the town's Crown Street Library, on Wednesday, July 25, to read from his new book, Pushing Up the Daisies, which looks at life's idiosyncrasies.

The Northampton born poet, whose previous titles include Dreamer, Saturday Night at the Salon and Fun on the Bunny Run, said he loves the challenge of a live audience.

The event starts at 1.30pm and is free.
