Whether you’re ready to hit the mic or just keen to soak up the vibes, this event has you covered. Our friends at Push the Boat Out – Edinburgh’s genre-bending international poetry festival – host a special edition of their vibrant monthly open mic to celebrate dynamic contemporary poetry and performance. So, sit back and enjoy, or take to the stage and showcase your own work.
*To ensure we have time for as many poets to read as possible, we are asking all readers to share only one poem that is a maximum 3 minutes. Please note that filling out the sign-up form does not guarantee you a slot – the Rock the Boat team will let you know whether you have a slot via email ahead of the event.
