Give Poetry A Chance is a Liverpool-based initiative that provides a much-needed platform for local poets to share their work and connect with others. Since 27th February, 2019, we’ve been hosting monthly poetry events at some of the city’s most iconic venues, including Phase One, The Jacaranda Club, and Some Place absinthe bar.

Our aim is to build a supportive community where aspiring poets can thrive, instead of having to settle for one-off events that come and go. Liverpool has a rich history of revolutionary poets, and we’re committed to reviving that spirit of creative expression and pushing poetry to the forefront once again. Join us in our mission to give poetry the chance it deserves in our city.
