The Liverpool Camarade (part of The European Poetry Festival 2023)

Open Eye Gallery

A remarkable poetry event in support of Ukrainian culture.

A remarkable poetry event in support of Ukrainian culture, celebrating liveness, collaboration and cross-linguistic collective inventiveness. Eight pairs of poets will present their readings:Kārlis Vērdiņš and James ByrneHanna Komar and Michael SuttonKaterina Koulouri and Patricia FarrellYasmin Hafedh and Sarah DawsonAilsa Holland and Stephen SunderlandRobert Sheppard and Sarah-Claire ConlonTom Jenks and SJ FowlerStanimir Dimitrov and and Michael Egan.The Camarade format asks pairs of poets, many of whom have never met before, to produce new collaborative works especially for the night of the reading, with no criteria other than a seven-minute time limit. This non-determinate curatorial model explores the possibilities around live poetry and performance. Moreover, it creates friendships and communities. These events are rapid fire and energised but fundamentally serious and complex in the work they often produce.<a href="https://www.europeanpoetryfestival.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">European Poetry Festival</a> is one of the grandest celebrations of European poetry ever to take place in the UK.
