TWN Poets is a platform that seeks to showcase the next generation of poetic voices, those who aspire to follow in the footsteps of literary giants like Maya Angelou, Langston Hughes, and other luminaries of the spoken word. Each series features an intimate and immersive experience as we discover the unique perspectives, emotions, and storytelling prowess of these emerging poets.
Last year’s theme was social tolerance, with mental health set to take centre stage in the 2024-25 season. It is a sanctuary for both established and emerging poets, offering a space where their words can resonate and inspire. Through heartfelt performances, soul-stirring readings, and intimate interviews, this series explores the myriad themes, styles, and voices that make poetry timeless.
