AWARD-winning actress Miriam Margolyes will be at the Bodleian on Sunday.

She will be helping to celebrate poet Jenny Joseph's donation of her literary archive to the Oxford library with a reading featuring a selection of Ms Joseph's poems and previously unseen extracts from her archive.

The Buckinghamshire-raised poet was born in 1932 and won a scholarship to St Hilda's College, Oxford, graduating with a degree in English in 1953.

She published her first poetry collection in 1960.

Her second collection, 1974's Rose in the Afternoon and other Poems, included what has become her most famous poem, 'Warning' which features the line 'When I am an old woman I shall wear purple'

The event runs from 12pm until 1.30pm

Tickets are £8 and available from the library website.
