This talk by performance poet Max Terry Fishel offers an insight into the world of spoken word poetry, a burgeoning creative space open to everyone. Max will describe a typical open mic spoken word event, and talk about his own journey in this form of poetry.

He will illustrate the talk with several of his own pieces, some on political issues, others on a range of topics. Max will also discuss performance techniques, as this is integral to his approach in making this art form accessible to audiences.

He hopes that he will inspire audience members to seek out open mic events, and even try their hand at writing and performing!   

Meetings start with a buffet at 7:30pm followed by a talk at 8:00pm, then discussion at about 9:00pm.

All meetings are free of charge. Voluntary donations welcome. No need to book. If you can, please bring some vegetarian/vegan food and drink to share.
