Poets in Putney

17/08/2026

This is a belated congratulatory post that was due to be posted in June, but I have some reason ended up posting it in August, to Tunde Balogun a.k.a. “T” and Aaron Khemchandani for being our featured monthly muses in Putney News for June.

Well deserved! 💗🤩🌟

Thank you so much to Tony Collingwood for guest hosting and to James McKenzie for setup and support on the night and to Hannah Stanislaus for filing this birthday song to celebrate 1 year of Poets in Putney!

And a huge thanks to all the brave poets who’ve made this night what it is for a whole year now!

Saw this message today, thanks to Stardust Poetry. This is the ethos with which I host Poets in Putney. All are welcome, whatever their level of experience or background.

‘Better’, the charitable social enterprise that runs our libraries for the Council, is hosting a survey on residents’ experience of their library. It includes the welcome from staff, books and activities on offer, the online catalogue and access to computers and Wi-Fi. Your feedback will help to shape how our libraries can keep serving us! You can take the survey until 31 August here: https://r1.dotdigital-pages.com/p/1UDA-1R7U/aus26-libraries

Some like a theme, some preferred to do their own thing - all of it is welcome!

The theme for our next night is summer’s end/back to school.

We look forward to welcoming you and you on Thursday 27th August at Putney library Hall. Doors 6:30 pm for a 7 pm start. No entry after 8 pm.

We regularly welcome poets of all levels of experience!

Come join this vibrant, fun, warm popular night in Putney.
