Listen to how poetry can cross borders to challenge, delight and inspire us in this online series curated and hosted by poet Kim Moore.

This event is part reading, part open mic featuring poet, artist and video film maker Imtiaz Dharker. Imtiaz was awarded the Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry in 2014 for her fifth collection 'Over the Moon' and her services to poetry. Her latest collection Shadow Reader is threaded through with ideas around prophecy and encounters with both people and creatures.

This month's open mic theme invites poets to engage with the idea of the future – whether this is through prophecy or an encounter with a prophet, with an imagined future or an alternative ending – the theme can be interpreted widely.

Open mic slots are limited and must be booked in advance.
