Poetry at Your Place feat. Diliana Stoyanova

Come join us at New Zealand's only regular online poetry event this Sunday for our much loved open mic, with poets performing from all over the world, and feature session! This time with a 20 minute set from Bulgarian-Finnish poet and Finland National Slam Finalist: Diliana Stoyanova!

Note: Your Place is an intentional safe, accessible space where hate speech and offensive language and images will not be tolerated - and will be immediately met with a ban from our moderators.

For those that aren't familiar with Diliana's work, her bio reads exactly like this:

Diliana Stoyanova is a Bulgarian-Finnish spoken-word and sound poet, and PhD candidate based in Helsinki. A 2019 Finnish national slam finalist and an avid performer, she writes to take ownership of her own narrative.

Her poetry motto is 'Sometimes I do the words, and sometimes the words do me.'

She has been published in magazines and anthologies, most recently in the "Poetry and Settled Status for All" published by Civic Leicester to support refugees and migrants.

As always, this event at Your Place is pay-what-you-can-afford, because finances should not be a barrier to art. HOWEVER if people do not honour that trust-system then this event becomes unsustainable and cannot continue so if you can afford it, please do – the money goes towards paying our artists and keeping this whole thing up and running.

And if you cannot afford anything, still come along and enjoy the poetry with my blessing (though do please help us out by sharing the event and getting some other folks along – that’d be amazing!) – we believe in human kindness at Your Place, so hopefully someone who can afford it will pay a bit more and cover you.
