EVENTS
About the event
Join me and other artists on November 6th for an evening of live poetry and music at The Bushwick Bookclub, at Green Note in Camden, London.
Bushwick gathers the talents of local songwriters and poets who plumb the depths of a chosen literary gem to create that rare and beautiful thing – a new poem or song (or visual art, dance, film or snack!) For this edition, experience the differing artistic responses to Jana Bakunina’s Stories by a Russian Londoner. Co-hosted by Georgina Jackson and Amanda Thorpe, the lineup includes songwriters and poets: Little Lore, Yair Schleider, Frank Foucault, Leti, and Kapu Lewis amongst others.
