June 13th and June 14th

The Marlborough Theatre, Brighton

Sussex Poetry Festival, now in its 5th consecutive year, is Brighton’s most exciting annual poetry event, comprising two days and nights of readings from poets and authors both international and local. The festival brings together poets whose work is as stylistically diverse as it is unified by a commitment to formal experimentation and political dissent. Established poets will read alongside younger voices, and the festival aims to create a space of interaction, reflection and debate for all who attend. Featuring:

• Caroline Adeyemi
• Christina Chalmers
• Allen Fisher
• David Grundy
• Danny Hayward
• Rosa van Hensbergen
• Chloe Lancaster
• Stephen Mooney
• J.H. Prynne (reading English translations of Ulf Stolterfoht)
• Will Rowe
• Azad Sharma
• Ulf Stolterfoht
• Olivia Thomas
• Benjamin Thompson
• Juha Virtanen
• Alli Warren
