 Hannah Silva
Monday, April 5th, 2010, 8 p.m. at Globe Café & Bookstore
Hannah Silva is a writer and performer whose distinctive
style combines the physicality of theatre with energetic,
fast-paced poetry. She composes speech, choreographs
language, and exploits 'double tonguing' to create
a unique form of spoken word performance.
Her recent
works include You Said/I Said with percussionist
Alexis Kirke; Panopticon, a darkly humourous investigation
of language, belonging and Britishness; and Boat
on
the Water, a poetry/dance/theatre performance set
on a yacht in Plymouth. http://www.hannahsilva.co.uk

Monday, March 3rd, 2010, 8 p.m. at Globe Café & Bookstore
Come celebrate the publication of Prague Anthology
(1990-2010)
Prague Anthology is a survey of the English-language
literary scene in Prague during the last twenty years--writers,
publishers, journals, zines, books, translations, festivals
and reading series. The anthology is edited by Louis
Amand and published by LPB (www.litterariapragensia.com)
The anthology includes the work of over 50 writers/editors/publishers
active in Prague international literary community between
1990 and 2010; generously illustrated with archival
photos, portraits, film-stills and memorabilia; and
complemented by a comprehensive bibliography of English-language
literary journals, chapbook series, anthologies, book
publications, reading series, festivals, theatre productions
and experimental film.
Writer/Editor Louis Armand will present an overview
of the Prague English-language literary scene, followed
by select readings from the publication. The evening
will continue with an open mic of music, poetry and
prose, as we embark on the next decade of English-language
literature and performance in Prague.

 Nathan
Thompson
Monday, June 7th, 2010, 8 p.m. at Globe Café & Bookstore
Nathan Thompson was born in Cornwall and studied at
the University of Exeter, where he later lectured part-time
in musicology. He now lives in Jersey and runs the
PoAttic reading series at the Jersey Opera House. His
first collection, the arboretum towards the beginning,
was published by Shearsman Books in 2008 and Holes
in the Map appeared from Oystercatcher Press in 2010.
A Haunting, a collection of lipogram sonnets, is
due from Skald later this year. Stride magazine described
the arboretum... as 'a remarkable first collection
from an important new talent' while, according to
Luke
Kennard, 'this poetry poses the question, what if
Absurdism were underpinned not by suspect political
posturing,
but by compassion? And its answer I'll be revisiting
for years to come.' |
