Information

The ranting poets burst in the 1980s, with poets who were furious, funny, and frenetic – and while spoken word may have gone academic there are still some poets seething. In this event, we’re thrilled to bring together two poets whose work blends defiance with compassion and a cutting sense of humour to challenge gentrification, austerity and pretension. Tim Wells, who started as ranter in the 80s, will be joined on stage with poet and multi-slam champion, Jay Mitra – named as one of Apples & Snakes’ 40 Future Voices in Poetry.
