If you're a nascent Sylvia Plath or Seamus Heaney, this literary affair at the Arnolfini Harbourside and throughout Bristol is for you. It offers an opportunity for closet poets to get some creative exposure and see the experts at work.
The festival spreads rhyme and verse throughout the city, spanning everything from haikus to political and cabaret poetry. A wide variety of events includes performances and workshops, competitions and commissions, public poetry interventions, community work and digital projects.
