Poetry Club is one of The Coronet’s most popular and long-running series, now in its second decade. Each event brings leading poets to our stage, whether in our atmospheric candlelit bar or our intimate auditorium.

Over the years, Poetry Club has welcomed some of the most celebrated voices in contemporary poetry, including Simon Armitage, Lemn Sissay, Joelle Taylor, Glyn Maxwell, Ella Frears, Imtiaz Dharker, Nick Makoha, Roger Robinson, David Harsent, Daljit Nagra and many more.

The evening doesn’t end with the readings: audiences are invited to stay on for a drink in the bar, meet the poets, and continue the conversation in one of London’s most atmospheric spaces.

4 June: Tishani Doshi, Asmaa Azaizeh & Isabelle Baafi

June’s edition of Poetry Club is an evening of readings from three compelling voices in contemporary poetry: Tishani Doshi, Asmaa Azaizeh and Isabelle Baafi. Moving between questions of conflict, identity and belonging, intimate histories and acts of personal transformation, their work explores how language bears witness to the pressures of our time. Doshi will read from her new collection Egrets, While War, Azaizeh will present recent unpublished poems in Arabic with English translations read by Doshi, and Baafi will read from her award-winning debut collection Chaotic Good.
