The brave sacrifice made by volunteers from our region who journeyed to Spain in the mid-1930s to fight the forces of fascism has inspired a new collection of poems by a Teesside University academic.Published author, poet and creative writing lecturer Dr Bob Beagrie has a new collection of poems based on the local heroes from Teesside who were among the thousands of British and Irish people who volunteered to fight Franco and his fascists in the Spanish Civil War. Bob has developed his poems into a spoken word piece, which he will perform at the launch of his new collection, Romanceros,
