Hit the Ode
Hit the Ode brings the most exciting poets from the region, the country and the world straight to the heart of Birmingham.
We have poems, poems which taste the way a trumpet solo sounds; poems in which you can snorkel as you gaze from the surface at reefs, anemones, and crabs; poems which remember how to rewind a cassette tape using only a pencil. Good poems. Come and get them!
Line-up:
From Birmingham, Deborah Stevenson: known from Camden to Shanghai. Published by the Oxford University Poetry Society and Louis Vuitton. Poet and organiser. Get to know!
From London, Warsan Shire: Somali poet, writer, freelance hournalist and spoken word artist, writing in a mixture of English and African languages. Her first book Teaching My Mother How To Give Birth is published by Flipped Eye.
From Portugal, Raquel Lima: a rapidly rising star of the explosively expanding Portuguese poetry slam scene, Raquel offers melodic verse touching on the intimate and the socially relevant alike.
