How to sign-up: we will send instructions for sign-up when we get closer to the date. When you register on Zoom, we’ll receive your email address as part of the registration. One week from the event, we’ll send you a message indicating how you can put your name forward to read.

Everyone is welcome to join us for a virtual evening of poetry as part of the Words Festival! Over the course of the evening, our host extraordinaire, Tom Cull, will open the floor to poets of all shapes, sizes, and varieties! We welcome poets who are not from London as well. And you are most welcome to come and just listen as an audience member.

Out of an abundance of caution regarding the spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19, this year's Poetry Live will take place on Zoom.

Come on down to Words and read your poetry on the first Saturday night of the Festival! All participants also have the opportunity to submit their work to be published in the WordsFest Zine, an instant magazine that gives all participants an opportunity to publish by the end of the Festival. The WordsFest Zine provides an opportunity for community artists to publish their work. You can find out more here: http://wordsfest.ca/zine
