4. POETRY&WORDS - FAQs

1. When can I read my own poetry at the Poetry&Words Tent?

Every day, each of the groups includes an Open Mic slot (usually no more than two poems or 3-5 minutes per performer). Just wait your turn and volunteer.

2. When is that fantastic poet going to be on again, so I can tell all my mates to come and see him/ her/ it?

Just check out the poster board outside the tent to see when that poet's group is on again. This year the poets are working in four
groups, each with a session every day.

3. Where can I buy a copy of my favourite poet's work?

Those who have books, pamphlets or CDs will be selling them in the poetry bookshop nearby for a while after they come off stage.

4. Why is there a separate Women's Time on Saturday?

It's been a tradition since the beginning of this Poetry&Words event. It's very popular - lots of women join us for this time and the tent takes on a special atmosphere with so much uninterrupted work by women. Much of the music at Glastonbury is played by men, and this
two hour slot offers an oasis in the midst of all that. And organiser PVT West has been an active feminist since 1969!

5. Why is there no music in Poetry&Words?

This tent is an oasis for the unaccompanied voice. So if you've OD'd on music elsewhere in the festival, chill out with us! You might be surprised how one person with their words alone can hold a whole tent enraptured.
