About the event

Head to the 83rd Rhubarb event at The Triangle, with guest author Gaia Holmes, plus their ever-wonderful open mic for new writing.

Gaia is the author of 3 poetry collections, 'Dr James Graham’s Celestial Bed', 'Lifting The Piano With One Hand' and 'Where The Road Runs Out' (all available to purchase via our website!)

In February 2023, Gaia received a prestigious award from Arts Foundation Futures for ‘writing about place’. The award enabled her to spend much of the year working on her debut collection of short stories called ‘He Used To Do Dangerous Things’, which was published in October 2024.

Rhubarb is a pay-as-you feel event that welcomes poetry & prose readers on an open mic in the first half, followed by a headline set from an invited guest. If you want to read on the open mic, please book with them when you arrive. They generally offer 10 open mic slots of up to 4 minutes (squeezing in a few extras when we can). As always, listeners are also very welcome.
