Takeover: The Shore Poets
The Shore Poets are an informal but durable collective who have been providing a platform for poets since 1991. Each month, they showcase two poets alongside musicians, and of course, the night is always capped off with the legendary lemon cake raffle!
In this takeover, hosted by Christine De Luca, prepare to be dazzled by the brilliant ecopoetry of Karen Solie and Tim Cresswell, groove to tunes from The Self-Righteous Brothers, and enjoy your own chance to win some lemon cake.
In partnership with the Shore Poets
