Sunderland’s monthly spoken word and poetry night.
In November we lost one of our longest-standing community members, when Pauline May passed away. We all miss Pauline a great deal, and at the top of this episode, we wanted to commemorate her by sharing one of the poems from her pamphlet, Planets, Plants, and the Taste of Salt.

The remainder of the episode is the same poetry shenanigans you’ll be used to by now. From a lively open mic, we have Capitalist King by Auburn Langley, The Distance by Aaron Wright, Shouting Geronimo by Cath Mills, Apocalypse and Verdant by Barry Hall, Our Home by Rachel Emmott, and an early version of The Failing Leaders’ Club by Aidan Clarke.
Thanks, as always, to Pop Recs for hosting us, to all of our many contributors, and to everyone who came out to pay their respects. At times like this, it is both humbling and a great comfort to be part of such an incredible community.
Until next time, toodle-oo!
