Milk Poetry and Raise the Bar’s poetry and spoken word collaboration, Spotlight, present headline poet and performer Amerah Saleh.
Amerah is the co-founder of Verve Poetry Press and a producer at Free Radical, part of The Beatfreeks Collective. Amerah has performed throughout Europe and her debut poetry collection I Am Not From Here was published in April 2018. Her work touches on identity, womanhood, religion and the obscure idea of belonging only to one place.
There will also be the usual open mic session. Those interested should sign up on the door.
Hosted by Tim Ledwitch and Beth Calverley.
Please arrive promptly to sign up for the open mic.
This monthly event “puts the Spotlight on the emerging talent pool of Bristol and its surrounding areas, providing a relaxed and welcoming environment for newbies, veterans and anybody in between to perform their work to a warm and intimate audience in the heart of Stokes Croft.”
Price: £3 on the door
