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. Dead [Women] Poets Society currently doesn't have any core funding, so our events calendar is currently a little sporadic. Sign up to 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.
