Writers who would like to have their poems read and discussed by a prominent professional poet might be interested in the poetry surgeries run four times a year at the Poetry Cafe in Covent Garden. The next series of half-hour surgeries is to take place on 4 October. The session with poet and sociologist Carole Satyamurti will take the form of a discussion. You are encouraged to send in a few poems in advance to allow her time to read them.
The poetry of Carole Satyamurti has been published by the Oxford University Press and Bloodaxe, and she has won many awards including the National Poetry Prize. She has taught with many institutions including The Arvon Foundation and the Poetry School. You can read some of her poems here.
The Poetry Cafe, run by The Poetry Society, charges £20 per session for non-members, £15 for members. Check the website for details.
A virtual pub for writers and their readers. For those with a liking for stories and writing in all its forms, we lay on plenty of thought-provoking and up-to-the-minute reading material, videos and sound recordings. Alternatively, you might want to indulge in a chat about whatever books you happen to be reading or writing. Or if you prefer, settle into The Snug and enjoy a short story or three.
