Slam on the Water II, Regents Canal-side, Broadway Market Sat 3rd March 2012
On a sunny but cold day in mid January, we experimented with running a slam from the top of the bookshop barge at Broadway Market, which turned out to be a massive success. Due to popular demand – we’re going to do it again on March 3rd at 2pm. We’re looking for poets to take part and people to come and judge them or just watch and enjoy.

Slam at the Floating Bookshop, Broadway Market Sat 14th Jan 2pm
I’m hosting a slam from the top of a barge-bookshop that’s moored on the canal at Broadway Market during market day at 2pm Saturday 14th January. So that’s pop-up poetry at a pop-up bookshop on a pop-up market. Triple pop-up in your face. Poets come down and slam, passers by turn up and judge or watch and cheer while they eat their artisan breads and drink boho coffee-cider.
