Poetry Aberdeen

Aberdeen's popular monthly poetry gathering

Poetry Aberdeen is a monthly poetry gathering, held on the last Thursday of the month, with extra events for the New Words festival in September, and occasional variations in December to avoid the holidays.

The format varies from month to month. Usually one or more guest poet is featured, often launching a new book. Sometimes there are also singers or musicians, and the evening normally includes time set aside for open floor slots. Bring your own latest poetry to try out on a friendly audience, or just come along to listen.

These monthly gatherings were established in 2003 under the name Dead Good Poets by the poet Gerard Rochford, and continued under his direction until May 2010, when Gerard stepped down and handed the coordination over to North East Writers.

Come in plenty of time to be sure of getting a good seat, buy some food or a coffee, and settle down for an entertaining and stimulating evening in the company of some of the finest poets around.


	*Dead Good Poets* produced *There's a Poem in My Soup* and *There's a Bairn in My Broth, two books of poetry, recipes and drawings. Both are published by Koo Press* and are still available from *Books and Beans. Every penny raised from sales of these books will go to CHILDREN 1^ST*.
