A event on Friday 15th November. The event starts at 19:00.


In this 2nd Totterdown Art Trail Poetry Event linked, you will be able to enjoy local poets doing open mic slots (3 minutes each), and the featured poet, artist, community influencer, and much more:DEASY BAMFORD!

Amongst other threads of her life, Deasy is a poet who grapples with the demons of society, civilisation and love, the love of nature and the rolling seasons. Writing in Bristol since 2008, inspired by the 8 yr old young rappers in the community she worked with, she developed her style, calling herself a Granny Rapstar.
The events of the day often elicit, talking, walking rhythms that touch on the essence of ideas, rhyming couplets tripping each other up, jostling with blank verse and the no verses of the universe

The compere is Agata Palmer, a local bilingual poet, originally from Poland, who runs monthly Totterdown Poetry Writing Pod, Writing 4 Wellbeing in Nature and Indoors; and is currently busy juggling her portfolio of professional work with MA in Creative Writing and other creative projects. Always happy to collaborate.

To enter the open mic: contact Agata via Headfirst. Please note that open mic slots are limited to 3 minutes, including the introduction. Make sure you have checked this, if you don't want to be interrupted.

The event is free, but places are limited, so please get your ticket!
