Readings, and conversation with Vahni Capildeo.
"Ramlochan’s poetry slays whoever would force an ‘identity’ on it. It alchemizes the roles of grandmothers, abortionists, labourers, clerks, dancers, policemen, cousins, rapists into the greatest intensity of human. The world fucked the Caribbean archipelago, where European-derived shepherdesses and pre-Abrahamic Lilith now wander as peers among manifold beings. The music is consonantal, full of pleasure/pain. Rich as a García Márquez novel, these are uncompromising conversations, intimacy wrestling survival." —Vahni Capildeo, author of Measures of Expatriation. This event is kindly hosted by ULPC University of Leeds Poetry Centre. Book tickets here
18 December: opening for Roll Over Atlantic by John Agard at Bloomsbury Theatre, London 7.30pm
