Join poets Mir Mahfuz Ali, Rowyda Amin, Nick Makoha, Roger Robinson, Shazea Quraishi and Jan Kofi-Tsekpo as they share their craft of powerful, moving and exceptional poetry.

Listen to sounds from eclectic worlds, genres and decades with three of London’s finest selectors: Charlie Dark, Rita Ray and Max Reinhardt, then hear Brooklyn-based artist Tracie Morris with her
unique style of word play.

Take part in a Q&A session hosted by writer and co-editor of the anthology TEN Bernardine Evaristo MBE, and expand your mind on one of our creative writing and digital workshops. Carol Ann Duffy, Poet
Laureate on TEN said: "talents who demonstrate the richness, energy and confidence of the poetic voice in our multicultural country. It is a joyful and important moment in publishing."
