LIVEwire Poetry is a brand-new literary organisation, specialising in live events and writer development. Evolved from Nymphs & Thugs, they have a solid reputation across the UK spoken word poetry scene for producing dynamic and professional events.

Their events are renowned for pairing nationally and internationally acclaimed acts alongside the finest emerging regional talent. LIVEwire Poetry champions diverse voices and strives above all else to make poetry feel like an inclusive and accessible space.

Our LIVEwire host will join our poetry and prose performance set with students from Leeds Trinity University and author Njambi McGrath.
