Join us for a unique, friendly open mic that celebrates the UK’s rich linguistic diversity. Hosted by Sheffield’s Poet Laureate Danaé Wellington, enjoy a show-stopping set from British-Algerian writer Lydia Hounat, an alumna of the PTC’s first UNDERTOW programme for polylingual young poets.
Plus your chance to perform! Bring two poems (one free choice and one using a non-English language) and sign up to the open mic on the night. Everyone will also be given a poem in translation to take home.
