Griots Arts is putting on an event!
On Sunday, 13th November, at 7pm, Clifton Joseph will be performing at the Globe, with a Q + A session afterwards. The cost is £10. Clifton Joseph is an Antiguan Canadian dub poet, and he's been doing readings in London and Southampton. He's also doing a poetry workshop at 3pm, cost also £10.
There's a possibility of the evening performance starting with an open mic session - anyone interested should contact Griots Arts for more information.
Meanwhile, the Poetry Bookshop is also putting on an event, on Friday 18th November at 7.30pm. This is called Pebbles on a Child's Palm. This is a tribute to Czech poet Jan Skacel in his centenary year.* The poems, in translation, will be performed by local poet Simon Pettifar, with music from cellist Sonia Hammond and pianist Rod Paton, who was a neighbour of Jan Skacel in Brno for a time.
This is a free event, but donations to the Prison Phoenix Trust are encouraged.
*there should be an accent over the 'a' of Skacel.

Did you go? I was there and read out one of my poems before Clifton came on. He was fantastic!
Sadly I couldn't get there, but I did see him walking round town!
