In town for the printed poetry project I decided to celebrate the opening of Paul Hawkins Eachwhat Industries cultural space, offered by Hytha Studios in an old newsagent in a shopping centre in Knowle, Bristol, by organising an ambitious poem brut event with many poets based in the area and a wee bit beyond.
Some special in the sauce this night, everyone with 5 minutes, wandering in from the nearby Iceland, b&m stores and slot machine casino. A really brilliant space with really brilliant performances, all 12 were really seriously prepared and completely idiosyncratically unique to their author.
The event was also the second launch of my Bastard Poems, selected collages, with Steel Incisors press https://www.steelincisors.com/product/bastard-poems/2?cp=true&sa=true&sbp=false&q=false
