Poetry is at its best when it's challenging: namely, when it's challenging our expectations, the limits of the form, or a social boundary or taboo. And never is a challenge more keenly felt than through the voice: when performed aloud, poetry cuts deep, using words to reach wordless parts of us.

At this event - part performance, part discussion - we'll hear from contemporary, local poets with new ideas about the possibilities of poetry. How does collaborative poetry work, in writing and in performance? Where does poetry intersect with other artforms? And how might technology enhance our experience of the artform?

See, hear and experience boundary-pushing poetry from the people who write it at a very special night at the Toff in Town.

Presented in partnership with Girls on Key and the Wheeler Centre.
