A Riot of Words

Head to The Tasting Room and get your craft on!

Sasha Francis is ready to welcome and pull you into blackout poetry, zinemaking, or the sharp click of a typewriter. Cut it up, mash it together, make something strange and brilliant. Take it home, or leave it behind as part of a growing collective artwork that will surface again in November at VerbCrawl.

Many thanks to our generous funders, sponsors and members of Verb Community in supporting Verb Readers & Writers Festival 2026.
