Join us for an open mic celebration of local poets at Loganberry Cafe, with headliners Chloë Jacquet, Kate Dent and Jacqui Stearn. This event promises to be a vibrant celebration of our community of talented poets, showcasing the voices that are shaping our region’s creative future.
The open mic is for local poets to read a single poem - there will be 20 slots available in total: come along and sign up on the door! First come, first served.
Held at Loganberry, 27-26 High St, Stroud GL5 1AJ.
Chloë Jacquet is a multicultural, multifaceted, multi-slam-winning spoken word artist. With a preference for straight talking, rhymes and opinions, her poetry is entertaining and meaningful. She deals with a variety of subjects, from discrimination and mental health, to the pressures placed on men, via her short-term relationship with a biscuit. More recently she has been sharing works about her experience of cancer.
Kate Dent An MA graduate with a background in arts admin. Kate is a poet based in Stroud, Gloucestershire. The rural and urban rub shoulders in her work, as do the corporeal and immaterial, along with other strange bedfellows. Her work has been published in Pulp Poets Press, Doris Press, Dialect Anthology and, most recently, a pamphlet, Bedlam (Slight). She is working on her first collection.
Born a Londoner, raised in a new town, Jacqui Stearn has lived in and around Stroud for the last 35 years. Two pamphlets of her work have been published by Yew Tree Press, one from a shared writing residency in the Cotswold Water Park created by Dialect. Over the last couple of years, individual poems have appeared in Steel Jackdaw and Dawntreader, and this year her work was shortlisted for the Gloucestershire Writers Network Islands competition. She is currently a University of Gloucestershire Creative and Critical Writing MA student. She has been walking the River Frome and her tributaries from their sources to the River Severn for the past year as research for her dissertation, walking as a poetic practice. Jacqui is also delighted to be the Voice of Nature on the board of Create Gloucestershire.
