“Four local poets who have carved their names into legend on the microphone, now take to the page in this new anthology... A quirky and thought-provoking collection of locally written poetry...
Each of these poets has important things to say: about being female, being queer, being non-Anglo-Celtic, being ill, and most importantly, being human. Each of them writes with passion, technical skill and originality...
This is a great volume to help you discover some of the fantastic contemporary poets living within our fine city.“

We are sorry to say that the current home of Spoke N Slurred, Brick City Bar has closed its doors for good. Goodbye with love you true legends of rock n roll and the spoken word scene. Respect to you forever.
There will be news on a new home soon.
However throughout the ‘isolation’ period people have been keeping us entertained and in touch via our new Facebook group, Spoke N Slurred ‘In Lockdown’. Not only has it been a lot of fun but it gives access to the event for people from different geographical locations. Plus it keeps a bit of an ongoing record of material performed. It is something we plan to continue even after the live event reopens so please jump onboard.
