О себе: A juicy and inspiring mix of poetry, storytelling, music and eccentric stuff presented every last Wednesday of the month at the Saalisbury Pub, Turnpike Lane, by Richard Tyrone Jones, Lee Nelson and guest hosts!
Every month we have an open mic contest where you, the audience, gets to vote on who gets a full slot at the next 'Utter'!
Я хочу найти: Poets, musicians, writers - please send us CDs or add us to your friends and let us know what you do with an email.
The next two Salt Margins at The Whitechapel Gallery are unmissable. Hope to see you there!

second book. Lazy Gramophonite Adam Green reads from Satsuma Sun Mover, a surreal coming-of-age tale. Generation Txter Laura Forman performs poems about Bon
Jovi (yes!) and Battersea Power Station. Plus music and spoken word from Glasgow-based duo The Ex-Men. Doors 7pm, free entry. Produced in association with
Salt Publishing.
Thursday 20 September
Melanie Challenger Eleanor Rees Chris McCabe Songdog
Salt poets Eleanor Rees (Andraste's Hair) and Melanie Challenger (Galatea) have both been nominated for this year's Forward Prize for Best First Collection.
Which is reason enough to come and hear them read. Like Eleanor, Chris McCabe is a Salt poet and a Liverpudlian. His collection The Hutton Inquiry is a
powerful examination of language under pressure. Musical refreshment is provided by the excellent Songdog, led by playwright Lyndon Morgan.
Forward Prize nominee and all-round poetry geezer Tim Wells is joined by the very funny Ventriloquist and the wondrous Aoife Mannix at this special spoken word event as part of this year's Elefest.
The venue is an empty retail unit in Steedman Street, five minutes walk from Elephant & Castle tube. Map here. There's no bar so bring your own booze. Doors are at 8pm and we go on til late. Two pounds entry.
