about us, events & readings
WHO WE ARE
Corrupted Poetry is a state of mind, Corrupted Poetry Events is managed by a collective of like-minded writers - Nic Stringer, Michelle Penn and Fiona Larkin. We create readings and collaborations that focus on the best writers of contemporary and experimental poetry and present their work in a way that provokes debate about the poem's visual and sonic spaces.
