Calling all young budding poets!

Posted: 03 Oct 2011 09:40 AM PDT

Do you know any budding young poets who might like to take part in Saturday's Poetry Slam (at the Library Theatre, Chamberlain Square, Birmingham B3 3HQ)? This is part of the Birmingham Book Festival, which starts on National Poetry Day, Thursday 6th October.

 The young writers will have chance to work with former Young Birmingham Poet Laureate Matt Windle, along with other young slam poets Kesha Campbell and Becki Head.

These three dynamic young poets will guide the others in creating new poems or working on existing ones on the National Poetry Day 2011 theme of 'Games' from 1-4pm, ready for a public performance from 4-5pm.

 

It is completely free to take part in and to attend, and there will be a prize for the eventual Slam winner. No poetry experience needed! Open to anyone aged 12-18.

 

Full Details of the event are here, on the Birmingham Book Festival's website:

http://www.birminghambookfestival.org/slam-young-people-set-the-mic-alight-1529/
Youngsters can book a place at any time before the day by emailing joanne[at]birminghambookfestival.org or calling 0121 246 2774.

 

All are welcome to watch the event. You  can get (free) tickets on the door, or book via the link below, or by calling Mac's box office on 0121 446 3232.
