Contact: marketing@litfest.org
Poet and musician combo Hymas&Lewis bring the expanse of the ocean and the confines of a 40 foot yacht to Lancaster. In this frontier of jackspeak and drownings, guitar, concertina and shruti box mix with poems, neo-shanties and the candid storytelling of a landlubber’s first experience at sea. A turbulent, joyous 50 minute performance, consuming and illusory, ghostly and enchanting, an experience once felt not forgotten.
Sarah Hymas has published collections of short stories and poems, poetry pamphlets, written an improvised libretto, musical plays, collaborative live literature pieces and made films of her poems. Her second poetry collection, Speaking Salt, is forthcoming from Waterloo Press. Steve Lewis is a vocalist, percussionist and guitarist, songwriter, bandleader and music-leader with over 20 years of experience in education and community arts and as a performing musician in the world of leftfield pop, world and improvised musics.
