Tuesday April 4th sees the monthly ritual of open mic night in Coventry, Night Blue Fruit at the Tin Angel, a very special and intimate venue in the heart of that ancient city on Medieval Spon Street. It's my own local open mic night and I enjoy it so much, I wrote a long poem about it entirely in jaunty Skeltonics; here's a quick extract:
Oh, it's smoky as hell
Down the Tin Angel
So crowded and tight
On poetry night
Folk in the corner
Think it's a sauna
Let's set up a kitty
And drink the whole city
Let's pull out a plum
And drown us in rum ...
If you like the sound of that, the evening kicks off in an informal fashion at about 8.30pm; bring poems and friends and plenty of money for booze to the Tin Angel bar on Medieval Spon Street, Coventry. More information about poetry in Coventry can be had from the Heaventree Press website.
