A website that supports and reviews pamphlets, small presses, poetry magazines and performance poetry has announced a number of awards shortlists – and a voting deadline of 1 May. The Saboteur awards include such categories as best spoken word performer, best spoken word show, and best spoken word night. Raymond Antrobus, pictured, Dan Cockrill, Emma Jones, Vanessa Kisuule, and Fay Roberts are on the best spoken word performer shortlist. The best regular spoken word night category includes Bang said the Gun (London), Hammer and Tongue (Oxford), Jibba Jabba (Newcastle), Inky Fingers (Edinburgh), and Come Rhyme with Me (London).

Another category, best mixed anthology, includes Pressed By Unseen Feet, by Stairwell Books, which has a number of contributions by Write Out Loud regulars.

Winners will be announced on 29 May at the Book Club, London. The evening will include performances, a mini-book fair, and music.  On its website, Sabotage says it “likes pamphlets, small presses, poetry and fiction magazines, manifestos, online journals, stapled pieces of paper, installation poetry, performed poetry … In other words, those ephemeral works that are often created on a small budget and distributed to a limited amount of people”.
