London Poetry Festival August 2008
The 4th London Poetry Festival 2008 is about to happen! To be precise, on August 8, 9, 10 & 11: Friday to Monday.
People may begin gathering from six but the Festival will start at about 7:30 p.m and finish by 11:00 p.m. Those are the time for each of the four evenings.
As its signature presentation The 4th London Poetry Festival will present this year's Five Poets in Residence in all the four of the evening events. The Residence Poets are:
Anjan Saha, Claire Askew, Helen Long, Nnorom Azuonye and Sharon Harriot. You may read their works on Poet's Letter website or on the Festival website.
Please note there is an open invite to all of you who are poets - please contact us for reading at the Festival (We could still accommodate some more readers) either on facebook or to contact@poetryfestival.com
We need some volunteers to help us run the festival's four evening events (from (6-11 p.m). If you can spare the time and effort please send us an email.
The Festival is run on a not for profit basis so it is here because of the support and energy everyone involves offers it for free, for the love of word.
Tickets are kept at a very low level: £6 full price and cons £4.
There are four slots for music: one every evening. If there are any musicians/singers/bands please let them know of this.
