Two Poetry Events in Oxford this Monday

I'm reliably informed that both the following poetry events take place on Monday March 20th in Oxford pubs:

Back Room Poets Open Mic
@ 8pm in 'Far From The Madding Crowd' pub in Friar's Entry (next to Borders bookshop).

Everyone welcome to sign up and read, or just watch and enjoy! Any queries, please e-mail Christine at c.koutelieri@lineone.net


Hear The Word
welcomes you into the living space created at the 'Gardeners Arms' pub. The publicity says "Come and be part of the life. Relax and let the day pass, enjoy the open mic spoken word, and the delightful music of Jonny Fletcher, be bathed in the atmosphere and inspired for the rest of the week."

I'm not sure what 'Come and be part of the life' can possibly mean - these poets! - but it is open mic and presumably free entrance with music and spoken word on tap, so if you're in Oxford and usually go to the Madding Crowd pub on a Monday night, it could make an interesting alternative to the Back Room Poets ...

Starts 8pm. The Gardeners Arms, Plantation Rd, Oxford.
