Poet in the City Producers: Newcastle & Exeter

Poet in the City Producers has gone national! We're looking for curious, creative and enthusiastic young people in Newcastle and Exeter to welcome as Producers.

Hillview Poetic Histories is an innovative collaboration between residents of Hillview Estate and Poet in the City uncovering Hillview’s story as a self-run housing collective that survived in the face of austerity and eviction notices, influencing short life and cooperative housing movements in the UK since the 1970s.

Watch, Listen, Read

A unique collection of audio interviews, podcasts and films featuring the poets and speakers who have appeared in Poet in the City events over the last ten years.
