I’m so happy to be welcoming old friends and new from across Europe to come to London for my festival. It’s been a labour of love, a solid chunk of work for one person, but the results will be worth it.
The EPF bursts back into live life with 7 events in 10 days in venues across London. Over 25 poets from across the continent come to the UK to collaborate and perform with British and Britain-based writers. Celebrating poetry across styles and languages, and pushing innovation, this is a welcome chance to see poets from beyond the UK presenting new works, made for the festival. All events are free to attend. Click the links below for more on each event.
