Untamed ‘Live’ at TAAG
An Exhibition & Performance Week
Saturday 23rd to Thursday 28th March
Two special readings, one on Tuesday 26th March 7.30pm - with Steve Day, Sue Proffitt, Julie-Ann Rowell plus 5 other key Devon poets, all contributors to the Untamed Anthology.
The second evening concert on Thursday 28th March 7.30pm juxtaposes Welsh bard Phil Madden, alongside Roger Philip Dennis & Jennie Osborne who both have new publications in 2024, plus Helene Demetriades & Rosie Jackson, who each had critically acclaimed books published last year - their work reinterpreted musically by the Occasional Quintet featuring exquisite pianist Sam Richards, cellist Eliza Jacobs & Co. Highly recommended. Please note, with regret Alasdair Paterson is no longer available for this gig.
'The Next Evening With'
An Evening with the Poetry of the legendary American poet Billy Collins
at the Oystercatcher, Teignmouth, TQ14 8DD
Wednesday 1st May 2024 - 7.30pm
This live event in Poetry Teignmouth's new series highlighting major poets promises to be intriguing and thought provoking. It is hosted by Marc Woodward who has chosen to take on the work of Billy Collins - one of America's most celebrated poets, a writer who welcomes humour, the mundane and the ordinary whilst at the same time - often in the same line - cutting deep into curiosity and cruelty. Collins has garnered more literary prizes than most of his contemporaries. Now in his mid-80's he is still regularly producing acclaimed new collections.
Check out The Apple That Astonished Paris, Questions About Angels, Picnic Lightening, Nine Horses - to name just a few. Hunt down a Billy Collins poem of your choice & bring it along to read. Microphone & PA available.
