Experimental poetry: Camilla Nelson

Poet and artist Camilla Nelson will be showing new work, including a performance of A Yarn Er Narrative (Contraband, 2019) that moves between sounds and words. A highly recommended event from a dynamic poet working experimentally between artistic forms.

Free event, performance followed by Q&A. No booking required.
