Open-mic – 2nd Feb

Thank you so much to everyone who came along to our January event! It was an evening of wonderful poetry from a huge variety of readers.

This month we’re back again with an open-mic and spotlight open-mic reader. This month it’s CB1 regular Freya Sacksen who will be reading for us.

Freya Sacksen is a UK-based poet from Aotearoa New Zealand. They have published a poetry pamphlet in collaboration with Clare Pollard for DIRT Imprint entitled ‘Loops’. Their work can also be found in The Word Is…SMUT from ARU Publishing, as well as Episode 1, Volume 2 of Cambridge Poetry Magazine and is featured in Calque Print’s upcoming anthology Ragged Band of Travellers.

We’ll also have plenty of open-mic spots and CB1 is an incredibly welcoming, encouraging place to read so feel free to bring along a poem to share! We can’t wait to hear what you’ve been working on!

Entry will be £2: time & venue the same as ever, the Town and Gown at 18:30. We look forward to seeing you there, whether you come just to listen or also to read a poem of your own.
