The Ledbury Poetry Slam takes place on Saturday 30th June 2007 @ Market Theatre.
Leading UK 'slampresarios' Marcus Moore and Sara-Jane Arbury host proceedings as fifteen diverse versifiers vie for the slam champ accolade. Random judges mark the quality of the writing, quality of performance and warmth of applaudience. More tense than Tennyson, keener than Keats, huger than Hughes and, yes, poetry in Motion!
