On Thu 7 Nov, The White Hotel suplexes the strictures of verse with POETRYMANIA, a free five-way balladry brawl featuring live readers in a unique format, staged by cult Ancoats literary emporium P3 (formerly O! Peste Destroyed) in partnership with Cheerio Publishing and the Estate of Francis Bacon.
Running from 7-11pm, five readers – Kandace Siobhan Walker, Sarah Fletcher, Greta Bellamacina, Labeja Kodua Okullu and Christ Bryan – face off in a Royal Rumble of recital, piledriving poetic conventions and performing a collection of bold, creative sonnets – with only one to emerge victorious as the undisputed champion.
Bodies should not have typewriters as heads. But here hell is a poetry cell.
Entry is free, but a link to pre-purchase a book and seat reservation is coming soon.
