You know you’ve been in the gimp suit too long when you need some verse to ease your chafing soul, so get yourself down to the Maze, Nottingham in November for the DIY POETS quarterly. We’ve got a new format to tantalise, with timekeepers flashing big lights, while poets sweat through every second of a precious seven minutes.

Doors will open at 7:45 pm. Entry £3, a bargain!

Chris Page (aka The Dark Lord) will be our headlining poet. Music from Stacey McMullen.

The latest mag will be available, in random locations, and copies of our ‘Best of’ anthology will also be available for £3.
