WHAT IS 'THE POETS' DICTIONARY'?

The Poets' Dictionary is our exciting Poetry Open Mic night held on the Last Sunday of each month. With an interactive twist on typical Poetry nights we provide a platform for Poets to direct the narrative and Define themselves.

Have you ever wanted to ask a Poet a question but been unsure of how to approach? If so The Poets’ Dictionary is for you! We engage the crowd - Bridging the gap between Poet and Audience.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "DEFINING" AND "FEATURE" ACTS?

Our Defining and Feature Acts each share a 15 minute Feature set at The Poets' Dictionary.  Following set, Defining Acts then participate in an audience lead interactive Q&A session. 

This session provides an opportunity for Poets' to further "Define" themselves as an Artist, discussing their art and any personal passions/experiences.
