Sunday Service: Poetry

From ballads to blank verse and sonnets to slam battles, this event will explore how poetry is taken from the page and brought to life through performance and discussion. Curated by leading poetry society Live Canon, each week offers a platform to guests from different parts of the verse world to come together and share their work in an exciting and enlightening way.

This week's event will feature performances from Richard Scott, Abigail Parry and Nick Makoha.

 
Richard Scott will be reading from his debut collection Soho which was shortlisted for the 2018 T.S. Eliot Prize. 
 
Abigail Parry’s debut collection Jinx was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection. 
 
Nick Makoha’s debut Kingdom of Gravity  was shortlisted for the 2017 Felix Dennis Prize for Best First Collection and nominated by The Guardian as one of the best books of 2017. He won the 2015 Brunel International African Poetry prize.
