All proceeds go directly to Leeds Young Authors to fund participation in Brave New Voices, the USA’s most prestigious poetry slam, in the San Francisco Bay area.
A stellar line-up of poets from in and around Leeds – many of whom have worked with Leeds Young Authors over the years – invite you to join them for an evening celebrating the talent of a new generation of poets from the city. The aim of the evening is to raise at least £1000, enabling Leeds Young Authors to send one additional team-member to Brave New Voices this summer.
Please join:
Rommi Smith, John Siddique,
Michelle Scally Clarke
Ian Duhig, Antony Dunn,
Andrew McMillan, Paul Adrian
& members of Leeds Young Authors
The bar will be open throughout.
Please come armed with extra spending money… we’ll be auctioning a heap of signed books donated by our contributing poets, and by: Simon Armitage, Ian McMillan, Jean Sprackland, Michael Symmons Roberts...
All money raised in the auction goes to Leeds Young Authors, so a big ‘thank you’ to all the poets who’ve donated signed books!
Price: £10.00
Time: 7:30pm
