Dead [Women] Poets Society in Sheffield

Dead [Women] Poets Society is on tour... next stop, Sheffield! Join us for an evening of resurrecting dead women poets in the beautiful city of Sheffield. This time we'll be hosting two fabulous Sheffield-based poets: Suzannah Evans and Warda Yassin. We're really excited to announce their chosen Dead [Women] Poets: Nadia Anjuman and Lucille Clifton. We can't wait to hear more.

The main event will be followed as ever by our popular Dead [Women] Poets Society Open-Mic, for which we welcome poets and performers of all and no genders to the stage! Our only rule: for every poem of your own, you should also read/perform one by a dead woman or non-binary poet.

There'll also be the chance to get your hands on books by our guest poets, delicious vegan and vegetarian refreshments from DINA, and some exciting brand-new D[W]PS merch! What more could you want from a Thursday evening?

Come for the poetry, stay for the resurrection! #jointheseance
