A contemporary English poetry project which walks the line between conflict and harmony.
This performance is the work of Martin John Cooke, writer and director from Yorkshire, England. He has been a performance poet since the time of punk. Martin has shared the stage with all-time greats like Pattie Smith and John Cooper Clark; he was once a regular poetry contributor BBC5 live.
Words words words—English poetry evening—focuses almost entirely on new writing and contemporary perceptions, an expression of a modern mind mirroring the mysterious and terrible enigmatic horror, beauty, squalor, magnificent mundanity, eternity and ephemerality of the world through our window.
As distant ancestors painted woolly mammoth bellowing outside their caves, an evening of English poetry paints the flickering shadows of modern musings on concrete cave walls like digital updates of primeval wonder.
The term 'dumbwaiter' was coined because kitchen lifts were found in the basement where the waiters were silent and unseen.
“Sometimes words are made of spray-paint, sometimes words are made of howls.”
