Join us for a celebration of the vibrant world of poetry pamphlets. Now in its sixteenth year, the Michael Marks Awards continues to celebrate the poets, publishers and illustrators who create poetry pamphlets published in the UK.   
 
Poetry pamphlets provide a way for new writers to reach an audience and for established writers to experiment. Join us to hear readings from the shortlisted poets and publishers and find out the winners as they are announced.  
 
Doors and bar open at 18:00. If you are attending in person, please arrive no later than 15 minutes before the start time of this event. 
 
Tickets are free, but booking is required.
