COOK-UP IN A TRINI KITCHEN

An evening of Food, Poetry and Anecdotes

JOHN LYONS and ALAN PAYNE reading their brilliant poems
as part of a Caribbean food evening — rather special food and drink included in the admission price!

JOHN LYONS has an international reputation as a poet and poetry-perfomer, and tonight will also be reading from his successful cook book, Cook Up in a Trini Kitchen, 'a feast for the senses'.

ALAN PAYNE was born in the Caribbean and arrived in England by boat in 1959. He lives in Sheffield. His pamphlet 'Exploring the Orinoco' is launched tonight — an outstanding short collection, it was chosen by Andrew Motion as a winner in the 2009/10 Poetry Business Competition.

In conjunction with Sheffield Food Festival, we are delighted to invite you to an evening of Poetry and Food – Caribbean style. Sample a taste of Summer in the Atrium beginning with a welcome Trini Rum Punch, followed by an introduction and anecdotes from John Lyons to get you in the mood for the main courses – a buffet meal prepared by John with help from the staff at Bank Street and readings from Alan Payne and John Lyons. All of this and Johnny’s special iced tea!
