The evening will feature performances from the winner of the Brunel University African Poetry Prize, Warsan Shire - whose work has been called ‘fearless and vulnerable, and hailed by critics as a fresh new voice in African literature who writes and performs bracingly honest, exciting – and often challenging poetry.
Also appearing will be critically acclaimed writer, poet and cultural commentator, Nii Ayikwei-Parkes, poet and singer/songwriter Leeto Thale, who has performed at international festivals including WOMAD – and Nick Makoha, a poet whose work is deftly observational, dramatic and often poignant.
Hosted by award-winning, British-Nigerian poet, Bernardine Evaristo, Diaspora Writes Back will explore culture, migration, and identity, in an evening of beautiful verse and lyrical versatility.
