Anna McCrory, the newly-elected president of Oxford University Poetry Society, is performing at Hammer and Tongue Oxford tonight. Anna, who has appeared at many a Write Out Loud event up north in the past, will be supporting Henry Bowers at The Hub, above Turl Street Kitchen. The event starts at 8pm, with a slam as well. Slammers should sign up on the door for the eight places available. Entry: £7/£5. Map

And another diary date: OUPS stage their first event of the new term, a poetry jam, on Thursday 20 October at the Duke's Cut, Oxford,  starting at 7.30pm. Map
