John Stammers down in The Cellar

One of the poets on the recent T.S. Eliot prize shortlist (the winner was Carol Ann Duffy with her collection Rapture) was John Stammers. If you haven’t heard him read yet, now’s your chance. He’ll be appearing down in The Cellar at the Poetry Society Cafe this Saturday - 21st January - at 8pm, alongside Kat Francois and Julian Fox.

For those wondering what The Cellar is all about, this Saturday night event is hosted by Niall O'Sullivan and apparently ‘celebrates what is currently brilliant about the poetry scene - bringing together written & performance poetry and nurturing new talent’. Sounds great, doesn’t it?

If you have yet to sample the exotic delights of the Poetry Society headquarters, you’ll find the Poetry Cafe at 22 Betterton Street, London WC2H 9BX (Covent Garden tube). For more details and to confirm times et cetera, you can email them at poetrycafe@poetrysociety.org.uk
