Through site-specific live events and an indie zine, GRAVY brings a feast of poetry to unique venues around South-East London (highlights so far: a ship, a cinema and an outdoor stage that once hosted Bob Marley). Our next public outing is at the Free Verse Poetry Book and Magazine Fair on April 26.
