Extra Second London: PLANTING SEEDS

  • St. Margaret's House 21 Old Ford Road London, England, E2 9PL United Kingdom (map)

Extra Second London is our monthly themed spoken word poetry/debate night.

Each event includes featured poets and an open mic, followed by a round table audience discussion in the Chapel in St Margaret's House.

Open Mic sign up from 6:30pm | Starts at 7pm.

Our theme this month is PLANTING SEEDS

Ideas that open something in us that can't be undone or forgotten. Experiences that transform us in subtle or monumental ways. Things that break through and grow out of us.

How do we nurture the soil for our precious seeds? Do we water them or try to control the weather around them? Are we invested in how they turn out, or do we let them show us who they are?

Come and explore this and more with us on March 30th.

Your host, Jamal (Kid Anansi) is a Croydon-based poet, hosts multiple open mic nights around London, was a regular performer on the BAFTA Award winning series Life & Rhymes, and performed at Glastonbury 2022.
