Poetry performance plus open stage. Reflecting one of the themes of this year's Folkestone Book Festival, we invite you to read poems inspired by H.G. Wells's idea that 'Our true nationality is humankind'. Please feel free to interpret the theme in any way - to agree or disagree, to take it international or bring it back to local or even personal. As ever, perform your own work or a poem you admire.
