Coffee & Poems Club

For people who like coffee but want to try out poetry. ☕🖊️

Idea is simple, come and enjoy a coffee. Hear a poem, we will discuss it and then write some poems together.

Poetry is always for the everyday, and there’s a misconception that poetry isn’t. People over complicate it and it sometimes feels inaccessible. I want more people to experience the joy of it, and of writing it, which is why I’m starting the club to meet in a relaxed space.

This is only the second Coffee & Poems Club and we’re just getting started. This month I’m moving the club over to Chapter One Books in the Northern Quarter. Just FYI the cake here is amazing!

The session will be hosted by Louis Glazzard in collaboration Chapter One Books.  Your ticket includes the price of a coffee, tea or hot drink of your choice. 

Louis Glazzard is a working class queer writer and coffee lover. His poems have been published nationally and broadcasted on BBC Arts and BBC Radio 6. He released his debut poetry collection Human Men in 2021 and he runs writing workshops for new and emerging writers. He is also currently represented by Frog Literary for his debut novel.

Chapter One is an independent bookstore and café based in Manchester.
