Placeholder is home for poetry readings of the avant-garde, challenging, queer and radical. Following the success of this poetry reading series in Brighton, it is now in Southampton and presented in collaboration with Wire Wool Events.
Rachel Goodman and Elvire Roberts read together from Knee to Knee (Dialect Press) where the poets combine to expand the boundaries of ‘she’, with each poem co-written. There will also be readings from Verity Spott and Christina Thatcher.
This event is a toiletries donation point for Basics Bank. Raffle prizes are books and the proceeds go to Yellow Door.
