Craftwords: Meg Baxter
Headline act at this month’s Craftwords open mic is Meg Baxter.
Hosted by Bristol poet, Callum Wensley, “Craftwords is a night that hopes to give safe space to fledged and fledgling poets alike. We want to hear your works in progress, your old favourites, and heck if you want to cover a poem you really like then you can do that too! It’s a night for words and the people that love them.”
12 five-minute open mic slots are available on the door. Those interested in performing should arrive early.
Meg Baxter is a poet and Creative Writing undergraduate living in Bath. She has shared poems in bars, bedrooms, theatres and festivals, most recently performing at Northamptonshire’s Shambala Festival, and she cares about love, the colour pink, whoever she is currently obsessed with and the brief moments when she is no longer startled by the mortifying ideal of being known. Meg’s work is a collection of disjointed wonderlands and archipelagos of memory, within which she discusses intimacy, obsession, almost-love and the things that can wound or hearten us through visceral and unusual imagery. She was once described by world slam champion Buddy Wakefield as ‘adorable in an I’ll-fuck-you-up kind of way’ and still isn’t over it.
