Watch & hear us read our poetry!

Wow, so many opportunities to listen to the poems of our group members!

On the 19th of April some of us will read at another perfectly cosy and chaotic night of Natte Neuzen at Proeflokaal Hooghoudt (Zuiderdiep, Groningen). It’s free to attend. Check https://www.instagram.com/natte.neuzen/ for more info.

On the 26th of April (the night before King’s Day) Lionel, Nikki and Cecile will perform their love (and heartache) poems at Kings Night Exclusive : Love Poems at Le Petit Theatre (Le petit théâtre 19 Kolendrift 9712 MT Groningen). It promises to become an awesome evening!

Who the * do we think we are?

We write poetry in English. During our meetings we share our work to get constructive feedback. Some call this ‘workshopping’ and they are probably right. Everybody is welcome during the open meetings/workshops of the Groningen Poetry Stanza, as long as you bring some English poetry you wrote and are willing (or rather, hoping) to receive feedback. We can guarantee you: your poetry will improve!

Other events are in the cards: open mic nights, exhibitions, the whole lot. View our calendar for any planned events.

Just because we can, we are an official Stanza registered with the Poetry Society. That makes the Groningen Poetry Stanza the only Poetry Society Stanza of the Netherlands. We are kinda proud of that.
