European Literature Night VII: In Spoken Word

Telling the stories of the continent through the universal rhythm of poetry, a host of Europe’s most vibrant poets and spoken word artists gather together for one night only to share their work. Wide-ranging in theme and style, criss-crossing the local and the global, the personal and the public, there is something for everyone to enjoy, as well as the underlying music of the words which connects us all.

WITH Baloji (Belgium), Xavier Baumaxa (Czech Republic), Christodoulos Makris (Cyprus), Joelle Taylor (UK) and Karlis Verdins (Latvia). Hosted by comedian Ava Vidal (UK).
