Speed Poetry at Short-Fuse tomorrow

This Thursday 16th February, Short-Fuse in London presents the world's first Speed Poetry event. What they say is: 'Think Speed Dating but with literary chat-up lines, intelligence, wit, and an opportunity to meet some of London's finest poetry and spokenword performers face-to-face.'

Each poet will spend 8 minutes per table and let their personality and poetry do the talking. The performers include: Niall O'Sullivan, Heather Taylor, Paul Lyalls, Rhian Edwards, Dean Wilson, Sally Smithson and Tim Wells.

Short-Fuse says: 'Speed Poetry could be your perfect introduction to a new relationship with literature. Couples, singles, and groups of any number welcome. Who you wake up with in the morning is your own business.'

Tickets for this event are limited so booking is recommended. Doors: 8.30pm. Admission: £5 waged / £3 concessions. Tube: Angel, Islington.
