Our annual explosion of political poetry and unflinching wordplay is back. Exploring social issues through high-octane performances from some of the greatest wordsmiths of our time. This year’s Poetry with a Punch will take place in the incredible St George’s Hall, a venue famed for hosting radical social activists, from the suffragettes to the abolitionists, and the perfect setting for an evening of passionate poetry.
Opening their souls to us this year are multifaceted spoken word artist George The Poet, with punk-poet Atilla the Stockbroker, award-winning writer Anthony Anaxagorou, musical artist Caleb Femi, Palestinian poet Farah Chamma, and writer and actress Rosie Fleeshman.
