A tad belated, but I just wanted to say how much fun I had at ArtfulScribe’s LitFest, performing to a sold-out crowd with my Verve Poetry Press siblings! Community is the very soul of poetry, and events like this are the very heart of such a community 💖
According to the sign behind the till, it's our birthday..!👀🎈
We've been here in King's Cross with peace_news since 21st November 1959.
No presents required but feel free to buy yourself a book from us to celebrate housmans.com 😎
We're super excited to be launching our new FREE 8-week in person course; Introduction to Playwriting for Poets'. Led by Tolu Agbelusi, it has been developed specifically for poets who are interested in expanding their practice into the theatre space.
