Jennie Osborne & Steve Day
Shared Poems For Refuge
Osborne Reads Day/Day Reads Osborne

Live Sound Installation: Ric White, EWI & synthesisers

This is not so much so much a poetry reading but a declaration of war. In the Osborne/Day rationale, poetry is not a polite execution of literature, although they are both published poets presenting new work. Instead, it involves words as potential peace-weapons in the war against complacency and lack of tolerance towards displaced people. Jennie Osborne will be reading Steve Day?s poems and vice versa, an attempt to get a different perspective on their own work. The presence of Ric White?s ?live? audio soundtrack instantly places these poems closer to the word/music performances associated with jazz, avant-rock and post-modern composers/improvisers such as John Cage, Philip Glass and Laurie Anderson.

There is no fixed entrance fee for this event. It is hoped that you will feel able to give a generous donation to the work of the charity, Refugee Support Devon ? see http://refugeesupportdevon.org.uk

You can make a £5 or £10 donation by booking the relevant ticket here. Or choose a free ticket, and if you can, make a donation on the day.
