It’s summer. Love is in the air. Pride is just around the corner. You’re queer and feeling hot. It seems like the only sensible next step is to write some poems about it all.

Writing poetry can help us gain clarity on love. Whether you’re in a relationship, situationship, or single. Put pen to paper and explore romance and love through words. Its definitions, its differences and the beauty of a full heart or heartbreak.

In this writing event we’ll explore reading and writing poetry in a relaxed setting. We’ll read some poems together. Have a gossip over coffee and then try out writing some poems together. Featuring prompts inspired by Hinge’s latest research on clarity.

This is one time special edition writing event with Coffee and Poems Club founder Louis Glazzard and will be his last writing event of the year at Seesaw so it isn’t one to be missed. Before he goes off to write his own poems.

This event has been supported by Hinge. Tickets include the price of a coffee as usual, with the rest donated directly to the LGBTQ+ Foundation.
