Whatever else you read this summer, be sure to read all 45 poems by the 15 poets of @iambapoet's tenth wave – or let them read their words to you. There's even a @SoundCloud playlist (ideal for stretching out, eyes shut, in the sun).

With the big reveal of the 14 poets joining @penelopeshuttle in wave ten of @iambapoet just three hours away, it's cheeky game time.

And yes, you CAN shout out your answers!
See you at midnight (BST).
