Poetry reading by Jane Draycott, Helen Mort, Andy Hickmott with music by Arian Sadr
Jane Draycott’s new collection The Occupant, is a PBS Recommendation. Her translation of the 14th-century Pearl is a winner of a Stephen Spender Prize for Translation. Penelope Shuttle has described her as “an impeccable and central poetic intelligence”. Helen Mort’s first collection Division Street won the Fenton Aldeburgh Prize. Her new collection No Map Could Show Them (Chatto & Windus, 2016) is a PBS Recommendation. She is a lecturer at the Manchester Writing School. Helen will read a poem, specially commissioned by Poets and Players, in line with the ACE initiative ‘No Boundaries’. Andy Hickmott has published three chapbooks: A Limited Season (erbacce-press, 2013), The Reedy Boy and in:dispensable (both Original Plus, 2015). Arian Sadr started learning Tonbak (Persian goblet drum) and Daf (a circular frame drum) when he was seven. A variety of music influenced him to create his own original fusion style. Apart from being a successful percussionist he is a songwriter, composer and producer, as well as collaborating with other musicians in many concerts and charity events.
