Come along for an evening of lyrical storytelling from the Tees Women Poets, spanning local lives, traditional and contemporary folklore, hauntology - and a curated open mic of five readers only, one poem per person, all poems to tell a story - to request a slot please email your poem to [email protected]
Our First Featured artist is Carmen Marcus, with her poem The Keen:
Maeve is Donegal's last and worst Keening woman. She has one job! To sing the souls of the departed from here to the Other Side. But she can't because - well it's complicated. And now there's a queue of the dead waiting in the back room of The Crossroads bar and they're not happy about it. Expect ghosts, dark humour and a hot priest.
