To keep everyone safe, our poets will be broadcasting from home this month and you can settle in with a cup of tea or a glass of wine to watch in real time on YouTube or Facebook as these inspiring and gifted poets read their work live.

Any tips will be dvided between the poets and Caffe Lena. Or click the link above to lend your support to Caffe Lena at any time.
