About this Event
A warm welcome awaits you at the Wellington Hotel for another Open Mic Poetry session. All are welcome to read or perform their poetry or simply relax and enjoy the atmosphere as our brilliant poets spin their beguiling webs of words.
Our guest poet this evening will be Jasmine Sharif. Jasmine lives in Rottingdean, East Sussex.
Jasmine is trained in theatre and dance, including Middle Eastern dance, which she is also developing as performance, magically weaving bellydance, music and spoken word together. This was showcased by New Writing South as part of Brighton Fringe.
She is a writer of performance poetry, short stories and drama, and her work has been published in a Creative Future anthology inspired by Brighton & Hove Museum and Art Gallery: “Museum Tales”.
Her poem, “Wave”, inspired by paintings of the sea exhibited at the Towner Gallery, has also been published online, and a selection of her poetry has been shown as part of an exhibition of South Asian women’s writing at the Jubilee Library and she was invited to read at the Feminist Bookshop in Brighton.
In 2024, she has been invited to feature as guest writer by Seahaven Poets, who have described her writing as “an intriguing hybrid of genres”.
She has also had a short story “The Sheikh’s Delights”, recently published in Covert Literary Magazine (online).
Jasmine’s critical writing has also been published in online music magazine “Jazz Views”. When not writing, she enjoys true crime podcasts and singing in jazz clubs.
