RIVET presents: Poetry Jamboree (for Palestine)

POETRY JAMBOREE.

For the bank holiday weekend we are hosting eight phenomenal poets and writers to raise money for PAL Action, Gaza Poets Society, and Medical Aid for Palestinians.

The readings will commence in the afternoon and carry on until the evening. If you have small press zine or poetry books you want to sell/exchange, then please bring them.

Come down and hang out from 4pm. This one’s going to be great.
