Tuesday 24th August, 5.30 for 6pm – Creamy EWOK Baggends: Pimp My Poetry

Tuesday, August 24th 2010 at 10:27 AM

Join us for the return of the brilliant slam poet Ewok, and his new book Pimp My Poetry.

Spoken Word artist, MC and SLAM champion Iain EWOK Robinson finds his way back onto the page (following the success of his first Echoing Green Press title, Word: Customised Hype) with his second anthology of work, fresh from the stage. Pimp My Poetry is a call from EWOK to the minds of his generation to reclaim control of its collective creativity. EWOK performed at the Book Lounge last year and he blew us all away – he’s an amazing talent and we jumped at the opportunity to host him again.

Pimp My Poetry presents EWOK’s most recent writing from his widely-acclaimed live performances.

Ewok…has the ability to suddenly abandon irony and hit you with sincere revelation, drawing attention to the gap between word and world while at the same time embracing the functionality of language as his tool for art.”     Mail & Guardian
