The Mildly Erotic Poetry Tour

Mildly Erotic Poetry Tour13th September 2013

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that the Emma Press has been awarded funding from Arts Council England as part of the Lottery-funded Grants for the arts programme, to stage a series of erotic poetry evenings across the UK. The tour will accompany the publication of The Emma Press Anthology of Mildly Erotic Verse.

Each event will feature 2-4 poets each performing a set of their mildly- to highly-erotic poems and discussing their interpretations of eroticism. Check below to see if any are taking place near you, and sign up to our newsletter to keep up with the latest tour news.

We will also be running free poetry workshops before some of our events: read more here.

 

Supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England
