In Season 4 of Apples and Snakes: The Podcast, 10 Black British performance poets and artists speak openly about their craft, reflecting on how poetry transforms personal experiences into empowering moments that connect us all.

The podcast is for anyone curious about the creative process and the artistry of performance poetry, for artists and those new to the genre. They are an invitation to listen to the heart of performance poetry by Black poets in a bold, vulnerable, and profoundly human way.

A monthly poetry meetup, for women aged 27 plus, cultivating community and creative exchange. 

In partnership with Apples & Snakes, TWENTY-SEVEN is a free monthly meetup for women aged 27 plus to engage in their creativity and empower them in building a supportive, intergenerational community through poetry.

Guided by poet & cultural producer Koko Brown, led by the women in the room, each session combines time to write and time to share in an informal, communal space. 

Please note that the Tuesday 31 March session start time is earlier than previous sessions.

Session Dates – 10am – 11:00am:
31 March 2026 
28 April 2026

Are these sessions for me?
These sessions are for women who enjoy writing poetry in notebooks, on the Notes app or just random scraps of paper. These sessions are for women who came across a professional poet and would love to share that brilliant poem they found. These sessions are for women who want to explore and express their creative potential… and build a community along the way.

What can I expect?
1 hour dedicated to your writing, sharing and your creative self.

You can bring something you’re currently working on, use the session prompt to get started on something new or see where the mood takes you – there are no expectations!

Each session begins with Koko leading a short check-in, sharing a poem & a prompt. From here we’ll have about 20 minutes for writing and 20 minutes of open space for us to collectively share.

If you’d like to share something – this could be your own writing, work from professional poets or even an interesting poetry podcast you’ve found – you can sign up in the session. You’ll have roughly 3 minutes (so we can hear from as many people as possible) but, other than that, there are no boundaries. 

What do I need?
– Access to Zoom (via laptop, tablet or smartphone) for our cameras-on session. 
– Whatever you’d normally use to write with – this is a judgement free zone!
– Space to allow yourself to be a little selfish & focus on you
