Women's Poetry Slam for International Women's Day

WOMEN’S POETRY SLAM at the Zodiac, Oxford, next Tuesday March 7th.

To celebrate International Women’s Day, this is a super-charged event based on the theme of ‘Women’s Voices', featuring a 'stupendous quadruple bill with special guest artists' according to the vast and complex Hammer & Tongue publicity machine (i.e. Steve Larkin) - and here they are -

Salena Saliva
who has not single-handedly, but almost, been responsible for making poetry popular on the London club scene, has been a guest vocalist with Ninja Tunes ColdCut and Alabama 3 and is as outrageous and funny a poetry performer as you’re ever likely to see

Jay Bernard
Winner of the Foyles Young Poet Award

and Rebecca Smart
Cheltenham All Stars Slam Champion 2005.

Finally, there's the Women's Open Poetry Slam, which is your chance to wow the judges inside three minutes and qualify for the final in May.

To recap, the Women's Poetry Slam will be held @ The Zodiac, Cowley, Oxford, this coming Tuesday 7th March, doors open and sign up 7pm, show 8-11.
