Our monthly celebration of poetry and the spoken word! Join us on Wednesday 26th June at 8.30pm (doors at 7.30pm) to welcome Kit Fan, Martin Kratz and Lizzi Linklater (and three open-micers). Kit Fan’s third poetry collection The Ink Cloud Reader (2023) was shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize and Forward Prize. He was shortlisted twice for the Guardian 4th Estate BAME Short Story Prize, and a winner of the Hong Kong University International Poetry Prize, Northern Writers Awards for Poetry and Fiction, Times Stephen Spender Poetry Translation Prize, and POETRY’s Editors Prize for Reviewing. His first novel is Diamond Hill (2021).

He has new work in After Sylvia: Poems and essays in celebration of Sylvia Plath (Nine Arches, 2022).
