This Friday, Purely Poetry, the biggest and best open mic night in Belfast, returns once again to the Crescent Arts Centre. We love to see people unite through a love of poetry, so come along and be part of something beautiful.


Then, on Sunday 3rd, from 3-4pm, Poetry NI presents a special FourXFour showcase, with four of our poets showcasing their work: David Braziel, Ross Thompson, Geraldine O'Kane and Kathleen McCracken (whose work will be appearing in Issue Nine).

This reading will be held in Open Source Belfast's pop up place at 3-5 Commercial Court (just up from the Duke of York bar), running for the duration of the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival.

Purely Poetry, Apr '14

5/4/2014

 
A big thank you once again to all our wonderful listeners and readers at last night's Purely Poetry open mic in the Crescent Arts Centre. It does us the world of good to see so many people coming together to support local poetry. 

Our readers on the night were:
David Braziel, Tom French, Katy Waller, Ev Mcl, Anthony Ferguson, Norman Patterson, MK Maguire, Ross Thompson, Joel Auterson, Lesley Martin, 'Forty Two', Peter Francis Fahy, Ray Givans, Geraldine O'Kane, David Davies, Jenny Cleland, David Smylie, Tory Campbell, Lesley Johnston, Andy Ward, Patricia Devlin Hill and Mark Cooper.

Particular praise goes to our first timers, who read with aplomb and grace, and were all well received. A few of them were saying to us that they were surprised at how friendly and welcoming it was. That's exactly the mood we aim for!

We are back on Friday 2nd May for another open mic, we hope to see you all there.
