This month our guest internationally renowned performance poet Paula Varjeck. Here’s what Holly McNish UK slam champion said about her: "A pleasure to watch. She brings to light issues which other people don't dare to speak about, and makes you feel like you're deep in a rave, at a magnificent cocktail party or having a life changing intimate conversation, even when surrounded by 100's of
other audience members. If you get the chance to grab her back to the UK from the hands of Berlin's poetry mecca, then take it! She is a poet, host and creative thinker extraordinaire." www.paulavarjeck.com
