SUMMARY:SOUNDBITES - Monthly Poetry Open Mic
DESCRIPTION:SOUNDBITES – Monthly Poetry Open Mic Event \nLive in the Assembly Bar + Kitchen! \nReadings by a different local published poet each month and this month it’s CHRIS SINGLETON \nChris is a queer and neurodiverse poet\, play write and Artistic Director of Brave Words (www.bravewords.co.uk). \nHe is currently touring his debut show How To Be a Better Human (“a refreshing message in a likeable\, low-key spoken word show” – Lyn Gardner\, The Stage) off the back of a successful Edinburgh Fringe run with Summerhall (**** – The Wee Review\, Ed Fringe Review). \nIn 2021 Chris’ debut poetry collection The Kidnapping of Self-Kindness was published by Indigo dreams. He was shortlisted for Best Spoken Word Performer and Best Spoken Word\nShow at the Saboteur Awards 2022 for the Birds of Paradise Exceptional Theatre Award and has most recently been shortlisted for the Lancaster Playwriting Prize. \nHis writing has been described as “candid\, unafraid\, harrowing\, startling and compassionate in all the best ways” (Dawn Bauling\, Indigo Dreams). \nChris writes about growing up in a working class Yorkshire town with a strong sense of place and an unerring sense of hope. His poetry covers all the good stuff – grief\, sex\,\nneurodiversity\, underage drinking and poking dead things on the beach. He’d like to be compared to Guy Garvey or Jarvis Cocker\, but he’s probably more of an anxious poetry ewok. \nWe supply the mic – you supply the poetry \nPut your name down for a 5 minute slot (first come\, first served) or just come along and listen. \nOpen mic name listing from 6.30pm \nEvent begins with guest poet at 7.00pm \nEveryone welcome.
