Party @The London Library: More Fiya (In person) Poet Inua Ellams brings his exhilarating live literature phenomenon, the R.A.P.

This time we’ll be celebrating More Fiya: A New Collection of Black British Poetry, edited by Kayo Chingonyi for Canongate, with a line up (tbc) of contributors to the book, including: Raymond Antrobus, Eric Ngalle Charles, Inua Ellams, Samatar Elmi, Rachel Long, Nick Makoha, Louisa Adjoa Parker, Degna Stone, Keisha Thompson, Kandace Siobhan Walker and DJ Lily Fileen. Ten poets + a DJ = the best night out you’ll ever have in a library – or anywhere, for that matter. ‘A truly fluid literary event not just mingling poetry and music together seamlessly, but also bringing different tribes of poets: ages, races, gender, styles together. You will be moved in your heart and in your head.’— Roger Robinson This event will be BSL interpreted. Raymond Antrobus MBE FRSL is a multi-award-winning poet, writer and educator.

A Darker Light, the title of both his forthcoming poetry collection and, as Knomad Spock, his second album, is a multidisciplinary exploration of discovery, individuation and integration during Covid-19.

What do you know about Icarus? What do you know about the Entebbe hijacking in 1976? In this year’s Performance-Lecture, Nick Makoha fuses these seemingly disparate sources and events into poems in a new piece based around his recent work A Low-Pressure System, which won the Ivan Juritz Prize. He brings Basquiat and Icarus back to life in dream-like dialogues whilst gradually, kaleidoscopically, piecing together these stories’ disconnected frames, paralleled against moments from his own life – including fleeing the Idi Amin regime in Uganda – and other historical events, all linked by the motif of flight. The Verve Performance-Lecture (a stylised form of teaching-as-performance, originating from contemporary art practice), invites a poet who has never been asked to give a lecture before to create a presentation fusing academic discourse with poetry and spoken word on a subject of their choosing. In association with Poetry School. | |||

Focus will be placed on getting the work to a high standard that is of publishable quality. If you are working on a project this is the one for you. Prose poetry merges the lyrical and metric elements of poetry with the narrative flow of traditional prose. Often perceived as a complicated genre, it offers fresh perspectives and possibilities for the writer. In this masterclass, the award-winning author of the poetry collection Kingdom of Gravity will teach you the essentials of writing prose poems. You will learn how to blend measured and lyrical language with plot-driven narrative. At the end of this masterclass, you will be able to write prose poems that have a lasting impression on your readers. | |||
