This evening of poetry comes at you with an unapologetic political punch, headlined by the father of dub poetry himself, Linton Kwesi Johnson, and accompanied by a spectacular line-up of writers, spoken word and performance poets.
Introduced by Javaad Alipoor, the festival welcomes Zia Ahmed, Anthony Anaxagorou, Zeina Hashem Beck, Damien Le Bas and Zodwa Nyoni. Prepare to be confronted with spirited, passionate verse that doesn’t hold back, as this informal mix of powerful and dynamic poets takes on the issues of our time.
This event is run in association with The Poetry Society.
