Poets for Pussy Riot – the videos

A week after the news that Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alyokhina and Yekaterina Samutsevich of the Russian punk collective, Pussy Riot, were sentenced to two years in prison, over 30 contemporary poets came together at the Rich mix arts centre in Brick Lane, London for a unique evening of readings intended as an act of solidarity through the medium of poetry, and a celebration of the courage and spirit of fellow writers of this generation.

Films of the event are now online, including this collaborative piece by recent Other Room readers Becky Cremin and Ryan Ormonde. The full list as follows:
