New Video! ✨ youtu.be/H9bAOZfN-X4 Our East Heat Slam was held at StAnza Poetry back in March. This video is from our Sacrificial Poet Tom Bird, a gentle love poem for romantics that don't have a firm grasp on linear time.

We are deeply saddened to hear John Burnside has passed away. A tremendous talent, we were fortunate to have him join us at StAnza over the years. Our thoughts are with his friends and family.
