    GoFundMe launched for Poetry Pop Up 2!

    Let’s do it again! Let’s have a Poetry Pop Up2! January 26th – January 31st 2026!

    While the memories are still fresh, and the magic still lingers, let’s imagine doing it all again in winter, when Christmas is over, and the nights are still long, and the first month of the year seems to go on and on…let the poetry POP!

    I’ve launched a GoFundMe to raise the funds to cover the rent of the space, and to allow me to pay the poets who read at least a nominal thank you. £650 in total. And if we raise more…🥳

    I see this as giving ourselves a new year’s gift in advance, the promise of community, connection and words to get each other through those potentially challenging days of late January’s cold and grey.

    For the love of poetry ❤

    Poetry Pop Up Shop in Totnes

    I’m incredibly excited to be hosting a week long Poetry Pop Up Shop on Totnes High Street in July, Monday 14th – Saturday 19th!

    This all started as a dream on a Sunday back in March when I walking down Totnes High Street and saw the sign in Studio 9, inviting applications for pop up ideas. The deadline was fast approaching, so I didn’t have time to overthink. I applied the next day and…here we are!

    It’s going to be  week long celebration of all things poetry. Come listen to a range of brilliant local poets read every lunch time, join a mini creative writing workshop (daily) or commission a poem, written for you there and then in just three minutes! You can find further details, and the full program, in the images below.

    All this and more, from Monday 14th July – Saturday July 19th!
