Re-Enchant: March at The Cockpit

RE:ENCHANT - Poetic Experiments For A New World

Live literature every third Sunday at 5.00pm.

The world changes: we make new poetry to vandalise literary forms or retrieve those we need to renew.  We make new poetry to hybridise new species of understanding and reframe consciousness.

We make new poetry to have a good time.

Readings, recitations, incantations and events from established and upstart poets, word artists, ranters, spell-casters, rappers......and you if you want.

This month we have readings from Anna Robinson,Peter Marinker and Owen Gallagher.

Anna Robinson is a great poet of Lambeth working class life . Her work "Pulses with Cockney Vernacular, it’s an elegy for working-class communities. There is something reminiscent of William Blake’s ‘Holy Thursday’ in these poetic portraits of praise for a lost way of life.’-Malika Booker"

Peter Marinker is a London-based actor well known for his work on BBC Radio, and his association with publisher John Calder and the works of Samuel Beckett, who writes poems exploring memory, environmental destruction and hope.

Plus performances in our open mic slot.
