• Join us for Bury's brand new and only regular poetry open mic! Stemming from Bury College's theatre show, Once More with Meaning is now a night of poetry, local ale, and probably a whole lot of eccentricity, judging by the kind of people us poets associate with (namely other poets). It will be a night of two halves: open mikers all get to read one poem (two if you keep it short - let that be a lesson to you), then we wrap it up with a guest for fifteen minutes. We'll have a bit of a break, get a drink from the bar, then re-commence and do it all again! This month's guest poets: SIAN S. RATHORE Sian S. Rathore is a conceptual writer who writes criticism for Stride Magazine, is a serial blogger and has recently started to write for the Huffington Post and Thought Catalog. Her work has most recently been published in Bad Language, Cake and UP Literature, and she edits short fiction at Metazen. Rathore is 22 and living in England. AND MARK MACE SMITH Mark Mace Smith, aka ThudDub, is our final guest act. Multiple time slam champion (most memorably for us Mancunians at the Superhero of Slam finals) and Glastonbury poet, Mark has performed extensively across the UK. The open mic is open to all poets, regardless of ability or experience - anyone is welcome! Doors: £2/ £1 conc. Also £1 if you happen to be buying a drink at the bar. Gotta support our venue and all.
