I’m taking part in The Poetry Society’s second Poem-A-Thon, which aims to raise funds to help the Society continue their fantastic work promoting poetry and supporting poets across the country. The event is on Saturday 18th May from 12noon to 10pm at The Poetry Café, and features SIXTY poets, reading for 8 minutes each.

Having expressed a preference for being on earlier in the day, I’ve landed the actual starting gun spot – 12 noon! Please come and support me supporting The Poetry Society, and start your Saturday with poetry! Entry is by donation on the door, and you can come and go as you please. There’s an amazing lineup of poets, and you can see the timetable here. You can also support the campaign by making a donation to The Poetry Society online.

The Poetry Café is at 22 Betterton Street, London WC2H 9BX. Hope to see you there!
