Monthly spoken word session with a special guest writer, performances by the Women of Words collective and open-mic slots for attendees.
Women of Words is back at Hull Central Library on Wednesday 4 November, from 2:00 to 4:00pm. It's the latest session in a series that runs on the first Wednesday afternoon of every month, so if you can't make this one, there's always the next.
The afternoon's special guest is poet and author Wendy Pratt, who'll be paired with performances from the core members of the collective. The room is open to spoken word, prose, song and drama, and anyone attending can sign up for an open-mic slot to share their own work, whether it's a finished piece or something still taking shape. It's a space for female performers, but the audience has grown to include both women and men.
Behind the sessions is the Women of Words Collective, a group of women writers who share their prose, poetry, plays, novels and musings. They describe the room as safe, supportive and comfortable, and the collective itself meets on the first Wednesday afternoon of every month at the library. Each session follows the same pattern: a guest writer, performances from the core members, and the open mic for anyone who wants to step up.
