An Exchange of Words 

SPOKEN WORD
After a well-earned rest, The Write Angle's perennially popular spoken word event, 'An Exchange of Words', is back! Always lots of fun, the golden rule is: no one performs their own words.
So start getting your swapsies organised, and let's see what new light you can shine on someone else's words. In previous years we've had poems turned into songs, songs turned into poems, stories delivered by multiple speakers... use your imagination, and let's see what happens on the day.
