Festivals Listings Poet's Letter Print Magazine Launch Event August 1, Tuesday: 7-10 p.m. Venue to be confirmed FREE Poet's Letter 2nd London Poetry Festival 2006 August 23 Wednesday The London Poetry Festival 2006 grew out of The Poet's Letter Magazine Poetry Performance Series that started last year. Our Performance Series grew into its second year and still growing in strength. We had the first Festival at The Poetry Cafe in last August where many of our panel of poets took part as well as a lot of other poets published in the Magazine and The Poet's Letter Poetry Anthology of New Voices. We had a great memorable event. We thought this could become a regular Annual Poetry Festival in London, a celebration of Contemporary English Poetry. Therefore here we are with the second Festival and this year the Festival is taking place at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA) on 14th August Monday: 6:30-10:30 pm.We are hoping to get most, if not all, of the poets in our panel of poets including: Mimi Khalvati, Cheryl Follon, Munayem Mayenin, Isobel Dixon, Carole Baldock, Helen Ivory, Martin Figura, Carrie Etter, Phillip Ruthen (Confirmed), Julia Copus, Kona Macphee, Choman Hardi, Jim Bennett, Todd Swift, Eva Salzman, Luke Wright, Jude Simpson and Johnny Vallon and Paivi Payne (Music). We are of course trying to get other poets too. We will update this page as we progress. To find out more about the Poets joining the Festival please go to or to read their works please go toLatest Confirmation
