About

Welcome to The Live Poetry Book Club, an evening summer book club exploring and celebrating live readings and performances from writers and artists of colour.

In each session, we pair a musician and a poet of colour, and give them the space and time to move and inspire us. Each attendee is given a free copy of the poet's book to take home and enjoy afterwards.

On the 1st of September, we will be joined by Monica Wat, a singer-songwriter & producer hailing from Hong Kong, now based in the UK. Her music fuses lyrical storytelling inspired by her lifelong literature background with indie pop & folk melodies. Through soulful, ethereal vocals & instrumentation, Monica weaves together stories about migration, identity, love & losses.

We will also be joined by Salena Godden FRSL, award-winning author, poet and broadcaster of mixed Jamaican-Irish heritage - author of Mrs Death Misses Death, Pessimism is for Lightweights, With Love, Grief and Fury, and Springfield Road - A Poet's Childhood Revisited.

6:00 pm - 7:30 pm, Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution.
Tickets are just £5 and include a free poetry book of the writer's work and free refreshments.

Tickets are £5 and come with a free copy of Salena Godden's new book
