New series: I know that is poetry
If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can warm me
I know that is poetry . This quote from Emily Dickinson names a new weekly series from Corrupted Poetry where writers and artists speak about how they know THAT is poetry. Our guests include Kathryn Maris, Rishi Dastidar, Martyn Crucefix and April Yee amongst many other poets, publishers and artists. To listen and find out more ...
WHO WE ARE
Corrupted Poetry is a state of mind. Our events are managed by a collective of writers, Nic Stringer, Michelle Penn & Fiona Larkin. We create readings and collaborations that bring together the very best writers of contemporary poetry and present their work alongside art and sound content to provoke debate about the poem's visual & sonic spaces.
'The most thoughtful poetry event'
