Coventry Stanzas and Snacks Poetry Social

If you enjoy poetry but find traditional readings a bit too formal or intimidating, this is the space for you. The Coventry Stanzas and Snacks Poetry Social is an informal gathering designed for people who simply want to share their love of verse in a relaxed setting. Whether you have been writing for years, just started a notebook yesterday, or prefer to just listen and enjoy the company of others, you are more than welcome to join us.

We keep things low-pressure and friendly. We usually spend the first part of the session getting settled with a drink or a bite to eat, and then we open the floor for anyone who would like to share a piece of their own work or a favorite poem by someone else. There is no requirement to perform; if you just want to sit back and hear what everyone else is working on, that is perfectly fine too. It is all about building a community of local readers and writers in a comfortable environment.

If you are looking for a way to connect with other poetry enthusiasts in Coventry, we would love to see you there. It helps us get a sense of the numbers if you could click the button to RSVP so we know how much seating to hold. We look forward to meeting you.
