Open-Mic – 1st September
Huge thanks to everyone who came along to our August event! A special mention goes to CB1’s very own Julie Stevens for sharing extra poems with us, as well as all the open-mic readers who contributed to the evening!
This month we have a guest poet joining our ranks in the form of Steve Logan! He is a poet and rock musician who has held appointments in English at the universities of Oxford, Cardiff and Cambridge. His new book of poems, Heartlands, was published in 2024. The poems in Heartlands are written in a vulnerable, open and accessible style, as an act of homage to the people who taught him, among much else, to love language and music.
Entry will be £5 (as usual with our guest poets): 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.
