This anthology has been compiled to celebrate a community of poets who have gathered over the past 21 years at the Torriano Meeting House. This is a small but internationally known cultural space in Kentish Town, North London, where Sunday evening readings have been held since 1982. Contributors include: Christopher Hampton, John Heath-Stubbs, John Hegley, Judith Kanzantzis, Jeremy Reed, Labi Siffre and Sarah Lawson.
