Since the beginning of May 2020, we’ve been hosting weekly Insta sessions with guests from all over the UK and further afield. These relaxed 30-minute sessions blend performance with insightful conversations from leading and emerging poets.

Up next, we welcome Mariam Saeed Khan! Mariam is a poet, writer, journalist and digital storyteller based in Lahore, Pakistan.Three of her poems have appeared in wave five of Iambapoet 2021. Mariam’s journalistic features have appeared in publications locally.

She also appeared alongside other international poets in read poetry‘s National Poetry Month video, ‘What does poetry mean to you?’ in 2020. Mariam is currently at work on her début collection.

This session will be hosted by Matt Abbott. Our previous sessions are available to stream back in full on our Facebook page, YouTube channel and IGTV channel. Find more information and share the event over on Facebook. Our recent session with Leilah Jane King is available to view below.
