The event will feature both emerging and established writers from across Wales and beyond, from award-winning authors to poets blending techniques from powerful art and writing movements. Writers Eleanor Perry, Anthony Mellors and Juha Virtanen will take to the stage to perform their poetry to the audience.<\/p>\n
Event organizer, Wanda O\u2019Conner said \u201cThe Cardiff Poetry Experiment, whose objective is to open wide a space to engage contemporary poetry.\u201d<\/p>\n
The event will situate innovative poetry from a range of traditions and attracts a wide-ranging audience of students, the wider public, scholar, poets and artists either currently practicing or interested in developing their work.<\/p>\n
The event invites attendees to add their own voice at the after \u2013 reading, an integral part of each event, as the writers engage in discussion of their own poetry and poetics. \u201cNot only do we want to provide a welcome space to listen to contemporary poets but to open up a space where everyone can respond to poetry,\u201d said Wanda.<\/p>\n
Recently Cardiff has been upping its game when it comes to poetry. Wales has a history of innovative arts practice that remains relatively unknown. “New writing and performance collaborations, gallery experimentations and exciting poetry is being written, not only read, in Cardiff” Wanda said.<\/p>\n
