“... a very sparky read ... 10/10” The Crack
“... a very enjoyable and attractive book. It made me not only smile but laugh.” The Journal
Ten by Ten is a regular night for poets, spoken word artists, performance poets and writers. Every month ten people get ten minutes each, to showcase their work in front of a warm and appreciative audience at the Cumberland Arms in Byker, Newcastle upon Tyne. Ten by Ten has been running for three years and in that time, the stage at the Cumberland Arms has seen an amazing breadth of work from established and new writers. We are proud to say we have given many their first opportunity to have their work performed in public and have supported and encouraged established writers to experiment with new work, form and styles.
To celebrate the success of Ten by Ten, Zebra Publishing commissioned a book of poetry which was published in November 2009. Submissions on the theme of 10 were invited for the book and the finished result is a brilliant collection of work from almost 70 writers, available via our Shop page.
The dates for 2010 are
Thursday 23rd September
Thursday 28th October
Thursday 25th November
