Join us this October at Camden Bar, Westbourne for a celebration of National Poetry Day.
The theme is 'Play' so it's all to play for. Bring your poems, prose, stories or music to go along with the theme. If you've nothing 'on theme', not to worry, come along anyway.
We are joined this month by the delightful Tom Shaw, who uses poetry to help individuals find agency and purpose. He has delivered talks, workshops and readings of his work across the UK and internationally. His works are read in over 40 countries.
Sign up on the night for your 5-min slot (please ensure your poems do not run over 5 minutes, as we'd like to fit in as many poets as possible).
When: Thursday 2nd October
Where: Camden Bar, Westbourne
Time: 7.30 - 10.30pm
Parking available nearby. Buses to Westbourne Post Office or County Gates.
See you there!
