Crosswords Spoken Word

Our organiser has recently been unwell & after a lot of thought, we made the tough decision to cancel #CrosswordsOpenMic for the next few months. We’re sorry to disappoint anyone who was hoping to attend our next event, but we appreciate your support & understanding at this time.

Absolutely agree; this is such a great show! I heartily recommend #SkipSkipSkip for anyone heading to #edinburghfringe2019 this year 🙌 @TheFreeFringe @B_Labyrinth @LeanneModenPoet

One of my favourite books I've read so far this year. A fantastic mix of stories and poems; funny stuff, thought-provoking stuff, and stuff that will stay with me forever. #BigCityReads #Nottingham #achangeisgunnacome

@_ALSmithAuthor @LeanneModenPoet Thanks Ashley. Thats kind of your to say :)

I'm not talented, but I work hard.

@Vanessa_Kisuule We quite like this one by @LeanneModenPoet youtu.be/EUvJiEjnoEg

I am always stumped when trying to pick videos of poems to show school kids from ages 12-15. I want something engaging & provocative but with clean, simple language. So many poems I love can't be used cos they're a bit too complex or the language too fruity. Suggestions??

Remember: we're taking a little break for the next couple of months so there's no Crosswords Open Mic tonight. Take Care and we'll see you in September!

@OneNightStanzas This is WONDERFUL! Great to see you getting the recognition you deserve! ^_^

@MrCaseyBailey You big tease! (Seriously, sounds exciting 🙌)
