We’re proud to bring you the first of what will be an annual event at VERVE – our new Long Poem Event, which will feature one of our favourite poets performing new longer work – one poet alone on a stage reading one long poem. Wayne Holloway-Smith (Alarum, 2017 & Love Minus Love, 2020 both Bloodaxe) whose stunning pamphlet length poem Lobsters was published by Pakina Press in 2022, will kick this series off by reading us his long poem in progress Rabbitbox and we can’t wait!
