Poetry LiveTuesday 22 May


Guest poet: Simone Kaho
Simone performs muscular lyrics of loss and violence - prose poetry and spoken
word that is fascinated with people; how they avoid and rub up against each
other, culture and cultural clashes, urban decay...whether safety can ever be
found...her performance chops were crafted at Poetry Live and as a member of the Literatti. She's hit the stage at the Titirangi Arts Festival, Rhythm and Verse, the opening of the Aotea square, and a few joints in Wellington where she did the IIML Masters in 2010, and has been published in JAAM, Turbine and the Dominion Post.
