Readings of new work from poets in a collaboration between Painted, Spoken magazine and the Crossing the Line live poetry series. For two events only, six poets read individually, prefaced and ‘afterworded’ by a rules-based group work. Although representing a vast range of poetry practice the poets all come from modernist traditions with art practice selfconsciousness: hear how their work diverges and overlaps, creating a unique live event. Vahni Capildeo, Giles Goodland, Jeff Hilson, Francesca Lisette, Richard Price and Simon Smith.
Free. Presented at the The Portable Reading Room, the Wild Pansy Press stand. For more information see: www.wildpansypress.com

Orchestra of the Upper Atmosphere is an improvising rock group featuring
Martin Archer – organ, saxophones
Chris Bywater – keyboards, laptop
