July 2012 is not all about running and jumping, join the word games instead as the Poetry Olympics takes over Theatre Delicatessen. Hosted by BBC Edinburgh Poetry Slam Champion Catherine Brogan, Poets from across the world will be put through their paces. Over three rounds top class tongue talent will battle it out to win Gold, Silver and Bronze in the Poetry Olympics. Using the same dodgy nationality rules which helped Ireland get a place in the World Cup, if you have a grandparent from the country you can represent it. We have high profile poets including Bridget Minamore representing Ghana, Ingrid Andrew - Australia, Ben Mellor (BBC R4 Poetry Slam Champion) - Trinidad and Sabrina Mahfouz has not yet declared if she'll represent Guyana, Denmark, Egypt or Wales...
