VERVE Poetry Festival

A Four-Day Celebration of Poetry, Diversity, and Spoken Word at Birmingham Hippodrome.

We were excited to see several friends of Poetry Wales – recent ‘How I Write a Poem’ interviewee Betty Doyle, Winter 2024 Contributing Editor Kandace Siobhan Walker, and Seren poet Carrie Etter, to name a few – on the line-up for this year’s VERVE Festival of Poetry & Spoken Word.

With highlights including a Pamphlet Hour, The Big Gay Poetry Night, and sixteen workshops available to attend, this year’s festival promises to be the one of the most exciting poetry events of the year – and with online passes and individual streaming tickets available, you don’t even need to travel!
