A Short Note from the Editor
This blog is prepared as a free guide to Spoken Word And Poetry events taking place in London.
For further information on an event listed on this page, please use the internet to search, or visit the event/promoter links provided.
Please note that inclusion on this page is not necessarily an endorsement of the event, its organisers, or the attending crowd. Poetry people are gorgeous lovely souls, but poetry events largely take place at night, often in locations serving alcohol, and very often shared with the general public, please take all due safety precautions when attending, especially if visiting a new location alone and for the first time.
Details on the events are subject to change and potential late notice cancellation. I will maintain and update whenever possible, but things will slip through the net.
Many thanks for visiting, do enjoy your month of poetry.
