Poet in the City Producers
About the programme
Poet in the City Producers is a group of talented young creatives producing events, provoking discussions, and driving campaigns to ensure young people have a stake in the future of poetry.
Each year, 16-26 year olds in London, Newcastle and Exeter develop key industry and transferable skills in creative producing. We do this through a programme of workshops, leadership training, networking opportunities and professional practice, working with some of the UK’s leading poets, industry professionals and arts organisations.
