SOUNDBITES – Monthly Poetry Open Mic Event

Live in the Assembly Bar + Kitchen!

Readings by a different local published poet each month and this month were delighted to welcome JOHNNY MONROE.

Johnny is a poet, novelist, essayist, satirist, polemicist, international playboy and housewife.

He’s published eight volumes of poetry, none of which have garnered him any awards, though he did win a Blue Peter badge in 1978.

He cites post-war poets like Larkin, Betjeman, Hughes and Plath as his biggest influences, and his work has appeared in publications as varied as the Big Issue and Whizzer and Chips.
