This Midsummer Day, following the resounding success of her intimate poetry evenings at the National Theatre and Bridge Theatre award-winning poetry anthologist, Allie Esiri celebrates the release of her new book, A Poem for Every Summer Day.

Special guest readers Alexander Armstrong (Armstrong & Miller, Pointless, Classic FM) and Kate Fleetwood (Tony & Olivier award nominee, Macbeth, London Road) will transport you out of the year we have just had and into the warm embrace of summer.

Curated and introduced by Allie, expect poems that move us, entertain us, and make us laugh.
