You can now purchase 2014 season tickets to Keep Left Poetry. A season ticket gets you into all events bar the fundraiser in March and even if you can't make all events this year, it's a great way to support the event and ensure all performers can be paid throughout the year. Keep Left gives 80% of income straight to the performers.

Dates and features are coming soon. We hope to have list of all features until June by the end of Jan.

Keep Left is a left-wing poetry night that happens monthly at Under the Hammer, Activist Arts Hub in Coburg. It happens monthly and each month features a left-wing poet plus an open mic section. A 2014 season ticket entitles you to entry to all 2014 Keep Left Poetry events bar the March fundraiser.

Just so people know, we have confirmed Ali Alizadeh as our next feature for July and we're in the process of booking August. We're hoping to be well ahead with announcing and confirming feature performers as well as dates to give people advanced noticed so everyone has time to make plans and set aside those dates to come to Keep Left.

Also, if you think you're an ideal feature for future Keep Left events, the best way to get our attention is during the open stage section.
