Wellies & Words Featuring Louise Fazackerley
May 4 @ 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm
This is our regular live literature open mic, with 5-minute slots available for your poetry, stories or monologues. You are welcome to read your own work. May’s special guest is Louise Fazackerley.
With work rooted in word-witchery and the working class, Louise explores the synergy between poetry and movement in a way that makes the ugly beautiful and the mundane fantastical.
Louise has toured her poetry with John Cooper Clarke and you may have seen and heard her in The Guardian/ BBC Breakfast/ Radio 4 Women’s Hours/ Radio 3. Published poetry collections include The Lolitas and The Uniform Factory (Verve Poetry Press) Bird St. (The Secret Writers Club) and ‘The Pleasure Dome’ (Burning Eye)
