Join us for an hour of brand-new poetry, monologues and music!

Our theme for spring 2023 is Remembrance. The writers explore all kinds of memories, as well as things they either want to remember or would rather forget. This programme is dedicated to Joel Holmberg, who started Poetry & Jazz back in spring 2001, and who passed away in December 2022.

Featuring pieces written and performed by Mira Berglund, Zachariah Chamberlaine, John Leo, John Millar and Vladislav Nenchev.
