Join us for our annual explosion of political poetry and unflinching wordplay, as we explore social issues through high-octane performances from some of the greatest wordsmiths of our time. Peter deGraft-Johnson takes to the stage, bringing together traditional poetics and hip-hop culture. Dr Sanah Ahsan, an award-winning poet and clinical psychologist, will also share her powerful and thought-provoking work. Emy.P, named one of the TOP 50 Influential Neurodivergent Women in 2019, will join this poetically-powerful line-up, alongside Stefan Mohamed, whose most recent poetry collection, Farewell Tour, has been transformed into a side-splitting spoken word show. Bee Asha Singh, a talented poet, singer, rapper and member of the all-female hip-hop trio The Honey Farm, will add to the eclectic mix.
We’re also thrilled to feature two award-winning poets: Anthony Anaxagorou, from Faber, and Roger Robinson, a T.S. Eliot Prize winner and musician – and don’t miss a special performance by Suhrab Sirat, whose poetry will be translated from Farsi by Aviva Dautch.
Hosting the night is the unrivalled poet, educator, and editor Joelle Taylor. Book your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.
