Slam at Leominster: Friday 15th June

Poetry Slam at Leominster Library

On Friday 15th June at 8pm Leominster Library will be having it's first ever Poetry Slam- a fast-paced, fun-filled performance poetry competition.

Leading UK slampresarios Marcus Moore and Sara-Jane Arbury host proceedings as a dozen diverse versifiers vie for the slam champ accolade. Random judges mark the quality of the writing, quality of performance and warmth of applaudience. Three three-minute rounds narrow the field and heighten the tempo. More tense than Tennyson, keener than Keats, huger than Hughes and, yes, poetry in Motion!

It will be an exhilarating exciting evening and will even appeal to teenagers and adults who think poetry isn't for them. Tickets are only £3 and include wine and soft drinks. For more info call Anne-Marie Dossett 01432 260646 or email amdossett@herefordshire.gov.uk
