Are you a poet?
Do you like reading and listening to poetry?
Writers, readers and listeners are all welcome to a most informal evening of poetry at Wild Zuchinis Bistro.
Come along and share your own poems or your favourite poems by other authors.
Poets and audience will share the space as the poems work their way around the room.
It's a sort of open mic, but with no tech. Each person will recite or read one poem and then we move on to the next. If time allows you'll get chance to read three or four poems over the course of the evening.
It's for listeners too, not just writers. Lovers of poetry and the spoken word who would like to just sit and enjoy the prose are most welcome too.
It's NOT a writing group where suggestions or criticisms can be made.
The bistro is licensed and there is food, wines, beers, teas, coffees and soft drinks available.
In between rounds there's an interval and chance to chat with folks in the room.
It's an evening of just poetry.
Poetry of all types, styles, levels and topics.
And if you have never shared your works in public before don’t worry. Once you settle in for the evening you’ll soon see you’re not really in public and you’ll love it.
The Bistro has good access, but the toilets are downstairs.
There is on street parking outside and carparks within five minutes walk.

I had the pleasure of attending Poets Out Loud at the Kirkgate Theatre in Cockermouth it was a very friendly easy going evening. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Cockermouth, if you are there on the second Wednesday of the month pop along even if you only want to listen.
