Isabella Dorta & friends
Join us this Pride Month at Leeds Lit Fest for Isabella Dorta & Friends: Queer Edition. We’re showcasing and celebrating queer women & non-binary voices. Come with your heart on you sleeve and a tissue in your bag. Expect to hear poems on queer joy, gender identity, sapphic love and genuine community. An unforgettable night full of storytelling and connection. Whether you’re a poetry regular or brand new to spoken word, this space is open and welcoming to everyone, no matter how you identify. Know that you’ll be welcome, no matter which side of the closet you’re on.
