An Edinburgh International Book Festival Preview, in partnership with the Royal Society of Literature.
We welcome Brit-born Bajan performace artist and poet, Dorothea Smartt in conversation with leading literary luminaries Tony Birch.
Both writers create works filled with beauty and both incorporate underrepresented traditions and experiences across their writing.
Dorothea Smartt's poetry carries her 'two voices', the 'London voice', of standard English and her 'Bajan voice' - the voice of her childhood and her dreams.
Tony Birch's writing conveys the power of kinship ties sustained in a context of the worlds oldest continuous culture.
The conversation will be chaired by Deirdre Osborne, Professor of Literature and Drama in English at Goldsmiths, University of London. Co-founder, MA Black British Literature.
Tony Birch will be in the UK for the Edinburgh International Book Festival and this will be his only London event.
