This event, specially commissioned for Curious Minds, brings three of the UK’s most exciting spoken word artists to Bath for a night of live poetry.
Anthony Anaxagorou is an award-winning poet, fiction writer and publisher. His collection Heritage Aesthetics won the RSL Ondaatje Prize, and his work is known for its clarity, political insight and emotional depth. Jasmine Gardosi, former Birmingham Poet Laureate, is a slam champion and beatbox poet whose performances move between spoken word, rhythm and sound, exploring identity, mental health and belonging. Tyrone Lewis, UK Poetry Slam Champion and author of Blackish and 2 Black 2 Furious, brings sharp humour and pop-culture insight, delivering work that is immediate, engaging and unforgettable.
The line-up brings three distinct voices to the same stage, offering something special whether it’s your first time watching live poetry or you’re a seasoned fan.
The night is hosted by Manganaro, multi award-winning Bath-based poet.
There will also be 10 open mic slots available on the door, giving emerging poets the chance to perform alongside this outstanding line-up.
There will be books available to buy on the night with signings in the intervals, supported by Mr B’s Emporium of Books
