*New Book* - I Used To Be A Rapper by poetcurious

I say:

"This first collection of poems contains much of my work performed on the spoken word poetry scene around London and across the UK over the last 3 years. Spanning childhood, love, politics and revolution; and heavily influenced by the rhythms and flow of the UK rap scene and the gnarliness of the London skateboard community of the early 90's; I Used To Be A Rapper makes a great edition to offend an elderly relative or traumatise a teen with this Xmas ;)"

poetcurious @ Tristan Bates theatre - 20/08/2011

The Museum of Broken Relationships is coming to London's Tristan Bates theatre in London's Covent Garden. I will be hosting a night of poetry on the 20th August to run alongside the exhibition. Some of London's finest open mic performers and featured guest poets will perform on the theme of broken relationships as well as writing/improvising a piece in response to the exhibition and performing it in a slam format. This will culminate in the 2 top poets battling it out head-to-head in a final round of odes to lost love! As well as that there will an open mic round and good music in the gaps!! Tickets available via the Tristan bates website here.
