Information

In our festival theme Poetry Is Punk, we explore poetry as a DIY art form: political, exciting and subversive. Poetry’s brevity means it can respond to political and social moments swiftly and urgently - and poets have always found ways to avoid the gatekeepers, be that through zines or Tiktoks. Join punk poets Paul Case, Mátyás Dunajcsik and slam champion Kemi George Simpson, in conversation with Jay Mitra, as they dig into the intersections between poetry, politics and punk.
