Ware Poets are delighted to welcome Troy Cabida to celebrate his new collection Neon Manila (Nine Arches Press, 2025). Looking at pop music, fashion, jewellery, dating mishaps, and everyday London life, the poems in this collection seek a better grasp of the relationships we build with ourselves, of the internal as constantly contoured by the external.
The first half of this event will be open mic, so please feel free to bring and read a poem in a friendly and welcoming space.
Ware Poets host monthly poetry evenings at Southern Maltings in Ware - open mic for the first half, followed by a guest poet reading. Everyone always welcome - whether to read a poem or to enjoy listening. Friendly atmosphere. Bar available.
We also organise a highly regarded annual poetry competition and enjoy running poetry events in the community.
