The @RoundhouseLDN Poetry Slam is one of the most iconic annual events on the UK poetry scene. We're over the moon about the fact that, for the first time ever, the iconic slam is staging regional heats in Leeds. And not only that – they've partnered with LIVEwire to produce it.
Visit the Miners' Strike exhibition @NCMME and then join me for an inspiring poetry workshop - all welcome, even if you've never written poetry before! @poetrybusiness @BloodaxeBooks @StairwellBooks @SerenBooks 🖤 to book: ncm.org.uk/whats-on/strik…
Thanks to Leeds Poetry Festival @PoetryLeeds for hosting the Poetry Supertram on Sunday. And for a great week of events filled with poets both familiar and unfamiliar. I have lots of new reading material to get through now. See you next year!

We're wildly excited to present ON THE SUBJECT OF FALLEN THINGS by James Kearns. This Chekhovian metanarrative explores permanence, mortality and the corruption of human storytelling. Absurd, existential and utterly addictive. Out 28th November: badbettypress.com/product/on-the…

More literary delights at @PoetryLeeds @LeftBankLeeds courtesy of @nasimrasl @timtimcheng and @roshnigallagher tonight, followed by a conversation with festival organiser Poppy Lee Jennings. A wonderful event. #poetry #spokenword #leeds
Saw 'The Weight of Words' exhibition at @HMILeeds with @_dodo Jo Clement after our very enjoyable @PoetryLeeds reads reading & we were knocked out by the @VCapildeo poem over the entrance. @LEEDS_2023 #MakingAStand by @PinskyMichael numinous installation great too in city centre
An absolute dream to perform with @JessMurrain & @MollyNaylor at @PoetryLeeds @LeftBankLeeds last night. Thanks everyone who came out for poetry on a Saturday night ❤️❤️❤️
@PoetryLeeds, you were amazing, Poppy Jennings take a bow, so many highlights, but I think @KenBrookes2 will recognise this young man who warmed our cockles on Saturday, @IMcMillan may be vaguely familiar with him too!
Lovely to hear @KatieScribbles read from her book 'White Ghosts', before an audience Q&A, at @PoetryLeeds @LeftBankLeeds on the final day of the festival.
