Born out of the necessity to create accessible spaces for writers, performers and thinkers to explore their art, and for audiences who just don’t know where to start, Other People’s Poetry is a showcase of spoken word by people who are passionate to share it.

Other People’s Poetry tells us that everything is other people’s, that poetry is not just written by other people, but in fact belongs to other people. It is not yours, but someone else’s.

Here we morph into another form in another place; once again making space for the written artform. Poetry arranges itself in a thousand separate spaces, all at once.

Five artists present their findings of poetry from different parts of the world.

This ticket fee is to pay the artists for their time, and all money will be distributed evenly between all performers.

Event Start 7pm @ Castlefield Art Gallery
