'Poetry 2009’

Poets United
4th - 5th July, 18th - 19th July

Poets United will perform at a number of venues in July as part of Peterborough Artists Open Studios.

Poets United, the ‘Peterborough and Fenland Performance Poetry’ group, are part of a thriving local ‘spoken-word’ scene and have performed in the area for over ten years. Members regularly read at local pubs (Glass Onion, Charters, Palmerston, Tap), colleges (Stamford, Peterborough) and festivals (Roots, Peterborough, etc.) Performances are as varied as our members but always seek to entertain, amuse or provoke thought. All members are experienced performance poets, most are widely published and our current line-up includes five Peterborough Poet Laureates. Last year, Poets United collaborated with local artists to read at nine studios around the City.
