Alternative Nightlife: "Poejazzi"

Like fireworks in my head, this event tonight

(http://poejazzimarch-eorgf.eventbrite.com/ http://www.poejazzi.com/)

has exploded in my head and sent thoughts and ideas cascading through my mind like a waterfall in anti-gravity.

Creative. Captivating. Innovative. Passionate. Profound. 

It gets into your head. It gets under your skin. It sits in your soul, and you feel yourself caught up in the swell.

Can't believe it has taken me until tonight to discover the power of the spoken word on stage. I love performance, I love music, I love poetry. Tonight was the perfect blend, all bound together in the warmth of community, support and laughter. The perfect antidote to a cold Tuesday night, in a otherwise (so far) relatively cold and uninspiring March. I feel like I have found the tip of the iceberg, and now I am peering down below the surface to try and discover the rest, hidden below the surface. From what I have gathered, there is a lot more out there! And I am ready to believe that whole heartedly.

More on that. MUCH more, to come!

He’s all blunts. He’s all booze. He’s all ruins…

"We love this swag-filled poem and how it makes perfectly measured movements between brutality and pensiveness in its exploration of America’s racial history and future from The Striver’s Row poet Miles Hodges." - poejazzi

I recommend: Poejazzi relaunch on June 10th

Hello my lovers! I reckon you should all show up to this, I will be.

"After five years as ‘London’s premier spoken word night’ Poejazzi relaunches with a new website, a series of apps and exciting visual collaborations.

To celebrate, we are returning to C.A.M.P with one of its finest lineups ever: WahWah45′s own Adam Scrimshire will be performing a full live band rendition of his critically acclaimed 2011 album ‘The Hollow.’ He is joined by Shakka- possibly the most exciting UK artist in recent years, and Cinematic Orchestra’s Heidi Vogel. On the Spoken Word front, we’re bringing you the quick witted, sharp eyed and humorous Alex Gwyther, and the Poetic Soundsystem brilliance that is The Insomniax. This is going to be memorable."
