Poetry Arena at Latitude Festival
See www.latitudefestival.co.uk for more information
17 – 20 July 2008

Showcasing the very best in contemporary performance poets, The Poetry Arena was hugely popular last year, changing many people’s perceptions as to how poetry readings could be. Comedy sketches alongside Hip Hop, slam poets, raconteurs, spoken word, lyricism, storytelling, rappers and much much more made this tent a roaring success for punters and performers alike. So much so that some of the funniest, satirical, hard-hitting, absurd, bizarre, and witty poets are returning for this year’s event.
