Upcoming events
Come and witness a resurrection with some of the most brilliant living poets around.
You can take part, too - our open mics mean anyone can summon a Dead Woman Poet.
#JoinTheSéance
N.B. Our 2019-21 national tour funded by Arts Council England finished in September 2021.
We'll be back soon with more events - get on our mailing list to be the first to hear,
and get in touch if you want us to run an event or workshop at your festival, venue or school.
