Event
Revolutionary Prison Poetry Fundraiser
From Iraq, to El Salvador, to the so-called 'usa,' captured revolutionaries have written poetry in defiance of the state's attempt to bury their spirit, and to reach out to the communites from which they have been taken.
On this workshop, we will be read poems written in prison by militant organisers, write our own poems through prompts based off of theirs, and consider the lessons these prisoners have for building and sustaining movements with teeth today.
We will end the workshop by writing letters of support to the current generation of UK anti-zionist and abolitionist political prisoners that the british state has locked up in an effort to seperate them movements they come from, and to scare us back to ineffective forms of protest!
Let's build a movement worthy of their sacrifice! Free them all!

The workshop will be facilitated by 2 Glasgow-based poets: F. Spoliar (they/them) and S. Soule (he/him).
There will be a limit of 20 attendees.
