SLF 2024 is very pleased to welcome (finally) Morgan Birch, winner of the 2022 Poetry Slam, to this year's event. Morgan Birch is a Wolverhampton-based poet who loves to rhyme. She has featured on Brum Radio Poets and also makes regular appearances at Caffe Grand Slam in Dudley. In 2017 she won the inaugural Wolverhampton Literary Festival poetry competition and in 2021, was a winner in the same festival?s ?Bedtime Stories ? Tale for Children? competition. Since then, Morgan has won the 2022 Shrewsbury Festival of Literature Poetry Slam, was a slam finalist at Ironbridge Festival (2022) and Ledbury Festival (2023) and won the Caffe Grand Slam in August 2023. She lists her most prestigious prizes as a Poundland face mask, Posh Spice?s autobiography and an out-of-date sandwich. Morgan describes her work as tackling a range of subjects, from unsuccessful dating to musical theatre and her personal quest for utter obscurity.
Morgan will be joined by local poet/performer/carpenter/volunteer, Dennis Onions. It's been many years since I last heard any of Dennis' work but he tells me he's been writing a lot of late. I am very much looking forward to listening to both of these poets again!
Drinks included in the ticket price. Donations welcomed for croissants etc.
