The WORLD’S LARGEST POETRY TOUR returns to London, UK this 7th May 2022
PIA London - the UK’s largest Christian annual spoken word event is back after a 2-year break. Exceptionally gifted poets Ezekiel Azonwu and Chris Webb return to London and are joined by new faces but no less talented Jasmine Sims and Jazer Willis. The UK’s Dai Woolridge along with top poets from the Bible Society-sponsored #PoeticChallenge are set to showcase at the event and
there will be a special Beauty Workshop by Kiyanna Azonwu. All of this will take place at PIA London Summit on Saturday 7th May 2022 at Dominion Centre in London.
The UK has a vibrant and spirited spoken word scene filled with rising talents; this is a real moment for the scene with artists coming together to encourage and learn from one another like never before. With over 1000 tickets sold so far, PIA London Summit is already the biggest ever Christian-based poetry event and certainly one of the best attended in the UK poetry scene. This May, the poets aim to deliver another round of scintillating words, rhyming couplets, strategic sentence structures, and theatrics on several important themes in the faith.
Exciting times once again as the organizers are searching for the UK and Europe’s best poet to open the PIA London Summit in what is now dubbed the #PoeticChallenge and sponsored by Bible Society. The previous winner Paul Syrstad claimed it the ‘highlight of my year’. There were 30 submissions from which 8 were shortlisted by Judges and public votes. The winner gets to perform live to open the show on 7th May. With the highly anticipated PIA Workshops, meet and greets, and powerful performances from the poets, the UK is in for a treat and then some.
Accolades from previous years speak of not just the fantastic performances but also of the events organisation with the poets giving high praise to the London team for ‘top quality professionalism’. Attendee's feedback for the shows include ‘life-changing’ ‘spectacular’ ‘stupendous’ ‘best ever’ ‘incredible’.
