Whether you are new to poetry slams or a seasoned performer, this is a chance for women of all ages and levels of experience to perform and compete for the title of Harpies Fechters and Quines 2016 Slam Champion. Featuring live music from Tongue Trap and hosted by the poet Jenny Lindsay, this is a don’t miss event. Last year’s slam was oversubscribed so make sure you book well in advance. If you want to perform, contact Morag Smith at GWL (0141 550 2267) or if you want to just come along and enjoy the show, you can book tickets via edinburghreads.eventbrite.co.uk

This event is run in partnership by Glasgow Women’s Library, The Bonnie Fechters & Edinburgh City Libraries and part of this year’s LeithLate programme.
