About this Event
Homebrew is a freshly-brewed poetry open mic and feature night at the Hillbilly Social 101, Bounds Green.
Host Laurie Eaves invites you to come share your words on the open mic or just kick back with some lovely food and drink and check out feature sets from some of the UK's best poets.
Our next event is on Wednesday 26th of March and we've got two wonderful features in the forms of Bella Cox and Jake Nathan!
BELLA COX
An internationally acclaimed artist, Bella Cox (she/her) is a British Spanish writer, poet, and performer whose poetry centres around relationships and how personal identity influences politics and ways of loving one another. While her proudly queer, feminist, relationship-fuelled work navigates her own identity, her multicultural upbringing has influenced work that explores the notions of belonging, home, and self-empowerment, making art that reclaims the body as the first home and embraces sensitivities and neurodivergence as tools for self-liberation. Often including a loop pedal in her performances to create layered vocal soundscapes underscoring her poetry, her work has been described as captivating, passionate, and cleverly thought out.
Her debut poetry pamphlet; Sikiliza was published with Flipped Eye in 2023. She has performed and shared work at events such as TEDx Pretoria, Sköll World Forum, Bi Pride UK, and the Malta Mediterranean Literature Festival, among many others. Her work has also appeared in numerous anthologies, and she has been commissioned to write for institutions such as the Barbican Centre, HSBC UK, Time Out London and others, as well as Westminster Abbey where she was the Poet In Residence for 2023.
JAKE NATHAN
Jake Nathan is a poet, artist and designer, living in Essex. He is a multiple time poetry slam champion, A Genesis Grand slam Champion and is the current Kent poetry champion. He performs his poetry across the country and has a poetry EP called ‘The Bear Necessities EP’ available on Spotify and other streaming platforms. You can follow Jake at @jakenathancreates on Instagram.
