Poets have spent years investigating the nooks and crannies of these regions and beyond. Have you been to the magical land of improvisation? Or explored the dark arts of banter? Have you crafted spellbinding chapbooks? Or trained in the martial discipline of mic technique? There’s a lot to discover and if you’re a young, aspiring poet, this is your chance to travel through these lands with experienced spoken word poets to guide you.
