We are so hyped to be partnering with the BBC’s annual poetry and spoken word festival Contains Strong Language Festival at PoliNations this year!

Building on the legacy of the events held as part of the UK City of Culture Celebrations over the past few years, get ready to experience spoken word in all its poetic forms from some of the finest existing and emerging talent from Birmingham and beyond.

We’ll be revealing the line-up for BBC Contains Strong Language soon, so sign up to our newsletter to be one of the first to hear all about it.

Verve is Birmingham's annual poetry festival and the local partner for CSL 2022. Find out more about BBC Contains Strong Language here.

BSL will be available across the CSL programme - exact schedule TBC.
