If a polite society is a caring society – then why don’t people care more? This is a space for our poets to talk about all the things we’re not supposed to talk about. In a time and space where language is being policed (literally) what’s taboo anymore and who makes the call on that? Join our poets as they dismantle expectations of societal structures within their craft to say the words they want to say.

Content warning: discussions may include women’s issues and sex.
