Check out Poets’ Corner Canary Wharf partners with SXWKS for free performances from young poets
The Poets’ Corner is launching in time for Black History Month, featuring four weeks of performances with spoken word artists including Young People’s Poet Laureate Theresa Lola, British-Trinidadian dub poet Roger Robinson, Nigerian-British author Sarah Aluko, internationally acclaimed poet, playwright and performer Inua Ellams and multidisciplinary artist Joladé Olusanya.
All poems featured during Black History Month will also be published in Canary Wharf’s Short Story Stations – the innovative vending machines that dispense free one, three and five minute stories for visitors to read and gave the first snippet of Bernardine Evaristo’s new book Manifesto last year. “Poetry offers its author a creative way to capture feelings and experience, and I hope by sharing my poems aloud, I can portray an insight into my own life and culture in a way that encourages others to do the same.”
