SUMMARY:This Is Just To Say: spoken word open mic
DESCRIPTION:Oxford Poetry Library presents a spoken word open mic night! Join us in the library on the first Tuesday of every month to enjoy all manner of word-weaving\, story-sharing\, and spell-casting. \nWe welcome poets\, storytellers\, and writers of all kinds to share their work (or the work of others) in a safe\, supportive\, and inclusive space. Slots are 5 minutes long\, and performers sign up on the door – first come\, first served! \n\nThis month’s theme is VOICE! We want your whispers and screams\, your inside voice\, your outside voice\, hoarse and husky\, mellifluous and melodic\, your murmurs and mutters… It’s poetry night and we’re going to be doing all the voices. \nEvery month we feature a performer with a slightly extended set and this month’s featured performer to grace our stage will be Laura Varnam. Laura Varnam is the Lecturer in Old and Middle English Literature at University College\, Oxford. She was one of the winners of the Nine Arches Press Primers competition in 2023 and her poetry sequence ‘Grendel’s Mother bites back’ (inspired by the Old English epic Beowulf) was published in Primers Volume Seven in August 2024. Her poems have been published in journals including Bad Lilies\, Banshee Lit\, Berlin Lit\, Dust Poetry\, The London Magazine\, Under the Radar\, and Wet Grain; in the anthologies Gods & Monsters (ed. Ana Sampson and illustr. Chris Riddell) and All Shall Be Well: Poems for Julian of Norwich (ed. Sarah Law); and with creative-critical essays in Annie Journal and the academic journal postmedieval. She has a poem and interview forthcoming with Poetry Wales in their ‘How I write a poem’ series. \n\nThe session starts at 7.30pm (performers are advised to arrive from 7pm)\, at The Community Works (21 Park End St\, OX1 1HU). \n£5 entry (£2 concessions)\, performers free. \nThere will be a bar at this event\, so it is no longer BYOB! \nThe building is accessible\, but if you have any specific access needs\, please drop us an email at oxfordpoetrylibrary@gmail.com beforehand!
