For a couple of years now Apples & Snakes, a London based production company specialising in poetry, spoken word and mixed media performance works by modern writers has been hosting events at Stockton-on-Tee's ARC studio theatre. I like to go to these shows if I can, the exposure to young British poets is always interesting, if sometimes a bit weird for someone of my age but you might be witnessing the next Maya Angelou, Benjamin Zephaniah or Paul Muldoon, long shots I know but worth a modest punt for a good night out listening to new work from the up and coming wave. Tonight's show is called "Articulate" featuring three acts, the picture shows two of them at the end of the show outside ARC, they are Sheree Mack from Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Lemn Sissay from Manchester and the star of the evening and both were good, it's a shame though that their published works were not available for sale. Lemn's performance of "Invisible Kisses" was especially enjoyable and this poem and "Sweetie" by Sheree Mack are featured on my Flickr page tagged by poets name.
