East London: Edgelands and Elsewheres
Join us for a free evening of poetry, where we will be launching two collections of poetry by East London poets.
About This Event
Jude Rosen’s collection Reclamations from London’s Edgelands (Paekakariki, 2024) – an urban pastoral poem of the marshlands and harshlands of East London, based on walks through the ecology, and echoing voices of the marshes from oral histories and archives. Derrick Porter’s collection The Art of Timing (Paekakariki, 2024) and reading also from Voices of Hoxton (thisis, 2015) that venture far and wide from the tragi-comic childhood of a Hoxton lad to his physical, historical and literary travels round the world, taking a side swipe at the art world as he goes, and dedicating a long love poem to a Russian donkey!
