Come share your poetry and spoken word at our open mic gathering 'HUMAN AGAIN' in Bath, UK.
About this Event

Welcome to our Poetry & Spoken Word Open Mic gathering, where we celebrate the power of words and the beauty of human expression in a respectful, friendly and sober environment.
Whoever you are, we’d love you to join us at Plant. Eat. Licious in Bath (a cosy, plant-based cafe in the city centre, who will kindly be selling refreshments) for an evening filled with creativity, emotion, and connection.
Whether you’re a seasoned poet, a first-time performer, or a curious audience member, we can’t wait to meet you!
This event is based on the belief that often the opposite of depression is not joy, nor happiness, but expression. To be witnessed or to witness others in this way can be profoundly healing.
You may wish to read another’s poem that resonated with you at a particular time in your life. You may have written your own. You may just be curious about poetry. You may have an excerpt from an essay you’d like to share. You may just be looking to meet like-minded people. Whoever you are we hope you’ll join us!
The tickets are free, but there will be the option to donate to our chosen charity on the night, and an option to give thanks to the cafe for their wonderful space.
In such polarising times, we’re hoping to come together to be a bit more Human Again through the magic of poetry and spoken word.
See you there!
(This event has a strict no-hate policy)

Praying // Mary Oliver
It doesn’t have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch
a few words together and don’t try
to make them elaborate, this isn’t
a contest but the doorway
into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.
