Iconic Salford poet John Cooper Clarke is seeking a budding poet to open his headline show at the Hammersmith Apollo next month. Well, only if you can come up with the goods, of course.
Which is easier said than done. Clarke is offering up the opportunity-of-a-lifetime support slot to budding poets who are up for writing a riposte to his classic poem I Wanna Be Yours. He will then hand pick the winning ‘slick limerick, free verse or sonnet’.
Entries will have to be sent in by March 30, prior to the show in London on April 8. The winner will open the show, and be put up in a West End hotel for the night too. You can find out how to submit your entries here.
