On Poets & Musicians In Collaboration

"I absolutely couldn’t stand spoken word at all before really. I used to consciously avoid spoken word tents when I was playing at festivals or anything like that. Or that was my beer-break during a musical evening" - Alex Patten

Three short poetry films, a poetry pamphlet and a photography exhibition are also in the pipeline for me this year. Stay tuned for details.

On Friday me and some of the 'Chill Pill' collective (Deanna Rodger, Simon Mole) are heading to the Liss Ard Festival in Ireland with Adam Kammerling & Joe Dunthorne to speak poems...

Toots & The Maytails are headlining so we're all excited for this!

It's quite amazing being a poet, you stand in front of so many different people in many different settings. These pictures are all from the last couple weeks.

Performance at Climbing Trees in Alexander Palace.

Conversation With A Man In Weatherspoons (Audio Poem)

New Poetry Project / "I Am Nobody's Nigger" by Dean Atta/ Dialectics by Anthony Anaxagorou/Simon Mole Sells Out

I am working on a new little poetry project with a friend who is a brilliant musician and singer called 'Alex Patten'. This is our first collaborative effort. Let me know what you think... More to come.



One of the Keats House Forum poets 'Dean Atta' got his poem on SB.TV after two of the suspects in the Stephan Lawrence case were convicted of his murder.



Also, Anthony Anaxagorou's poem 'Dialectics' makes more powerful social commentary.



Finally, Chill Pill's Simon Mole SOLD OUT his brilliant one man show at The Albany and it's not even on for another two weeks. That's a testimony for the spoken word art form if there ever was one!

See you at Chill Pill this coming Monday!
