Hit the Ode brings the most exciting poets from the region, the country and the world straight to the heart of Birmingham.
Join us! We have poems. We have poems with twitter accounts and poems which still handwrite postcards from their holidays; tarmac-covered poems filled with potholes and gravelly, grassy, winding poems which smell of dust; poems which keep you up at night blasting bass outside your window and nice poems you hum on your way to work. Good poems. Come and get them.
Line-up:
From Leicester, Andy Craven-Griffiths: “Andy Craven-Griffiths will blow you away. He’s new, exciting and strong. A talent for the page and the stage.” So says Lemn Sissay. You'd be wise to listen.
From London, Aoife Mannix: Aoife is a regular on BBC Radio 4 and the BBC World Service. She has been writer in residence for the Royal Shakespeare Company and toured around the world with the British Council, all to prepare for this gig at the Vic.
From Germany, Le Poonie: coming ot the UK for the first time, Carmen Wegge and Bente Varlemann make up one of Germany’s top poetry teams, and they bring funny and powerful poems delivered in perfect vocal choreography.
A very few open mic slots will be available on the door (the pre-bookable slots have all been claimed). For more info, contact bohdan@applesandsnakes.org.
