This improvised evening session will be centred on the idea of “catastrophe”.
Open to the public, featuring readings of both newly created and canonical texts, audience members are invited to bring short texts / poems / songs that respond to the topic.
Central to the evening will be poet and professor D.S Marriott (Emory University), and we will be accompanied by musicologist Dr Charissa Granger (University of the West Indies) on steel pans.
Think: Fanon, Cesaire, Wynter.
Think: Poets Theatre, reading aloud together, musical improvisation.
