The ninth Liver Bards poetry event of 2025 is titled ‘peninsula’ and is coming to the Rum and Rumour Kabaret Bar in the basement of Ma Boyle’s on Tuesday 7th October, featuring poetry from the always wonderful Alison Schultz.Alison Schultz is a poet and musician from the left bank of the Mersey aka the Wirral. She has a background in teaching and has just published her 3rd book, The Hushed Passing of the Blue Hour, as well as being much anthologised. Previous volumes are Eyes on the Bright Horizon (2018) and Observatory (2021). She is currently with Yaffle Press and working on a 4th book. She performs widely, often joined by guitarist John Chatterton.
There will be space for other to share their poems around this subject or with a focus on something else.
Please contact me (Ali) if you know you would like a poetry slot and will be there (5 minutes maximum). Please stick to the time! Thank you to the many bards who have performed thus far this year.
Whether you’re a Liver Bards regular or new to sharing your poetry publicly, you are most welcome. Or if you simply wish to listen.
Performing bards and audience will come together at Ma Boyle’s L3 1LG.
Come speak your truth and listen to others speak theirs.
Choose to adopt, adapt or ignore the title.
Please be respectful of others and thoughtful about the words you share.
There may be the opportunity for poets to sign up on the night at the venue from 7.30pm if all the spots are not filled.
Jake Archer is due to start the music sometime after 7.
The poeteering begins at 8.
This will be my 106th Liver Bards as host.
