About me:
  Heart Beats....A night with live poetry, live rock'n'roll, open mic, DJs, fanzines and red wine...

Heart Beats next event:

Friday 12 September

Café Arlington @ Novas Contemporary Urban Centre (ground floor),
41 - 51 Greenland Street, Liverpool, L1 0BS
Doors 8pm, £3/2 concessions

Featuring:

Cheshire Poet Laureate 2007, Jo Bell who in 2007 toured the UK with four previous poet laureates as 'Bunch of Fives' to great critical acclaim and sell-out audiences.

Tamsin Kendrick, who has performed at Latitude Festival and brings tales of the apocalypse and London's lost heroes - all with a healthy dollop of wit.

Headliners are The Ex-men, mixing poetry with beats, bleeps and word cages of their own creation. Affectionately described as "Underworld after six pints of mild" by The Sunday Times.

Plus live music from Liverpool’s own slinky electro-rockers, Sex Education and an open mic slot for anyone to get up and read their own poems.

This event may contain adult language...

DIRECTIONS TO THE VENUE!

On foot/car: Go past China Town on your way to Park Road. Keep looking to your right and you will see a huge warehouse with big white letters that says ‘Novas Contemporary Urban Centre’! Turn right onto Parliament Street, then right onto Jamaica Street - opposite the Cains Brewery. The entrance is on Greenland Street, just off Jamaica Street.

By bus: The 82 bus stops right by it. You can catch this from Paradise Street Bus Station, or on Lime Street or by the bombed out church on Berry Street. It's about 3 mins on the bus!

Google Map: Novas CUC,

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace -

2 of 230, walkaboutsverse.741.com: WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN

Once drove an old sedan, up north,
From a place in Sydney to Cairns;
Then to Kuranda I went forth,
By train, to look without set plans.

I browsed through the trendy market,
With fresh fruits of tropical kind;
Walked to the creek through lush thicket -
Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.

I dined in a scenic cafe;
Then, outside, as I wrote for yen,
Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey,
You go walkabout with your pen.”

Request or question, I don’t know -
Assured voices, elderly men.
That’s now several years ago,
And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.

The next two Salt Margins at The Whitechapel Gallery are unmissable. Hope to see you there!


Thursday 2 August

Luke Kennard
Laura Forman
Adam Green
The Ex-Men

At 26 Luke Kennard is the youngest ever nominee for the Forward Prize for Best Poetry Collection. He reads from The Harbour Beyond The Movie, his outstanding

second book. Lazy Gramophonite Adam Green reads from Satsuma Sun Mover, a surreal coming-of-age tale. Generation Txter Laura Forman performs poems about Bon

Jovi (yes!) and Battersea Power Station. Plus music and spoken word from Glasgow-based duo The Ex-Men. Doors 7pm, free entry. Produced in association with

Salt Publishing.


Thursday 20 September

Melanie Challenger
Eleanor Rees
Chris McCabe
Songdog

Salt poets Eleanor Rees (Andraste's Hair) and Melanie Challenger (Galatea) have both been nominated for this year's Forward Prize for Best First Collection.

Which is reason enough to come and hear them read. Like Eleanor, Chris McCabe is a Salt poet and a Liverpudlian. His collection The Hutton Inquiry is a

powerful examination of language under pressure. Musical refreshment is provided by the excellent Songdog, led by playwright Lyndon Morgan.

Yet

Moll doll his chin;
Her hair birch-
Broom-in-the-fits;
Chalk and cheese, they said;
Cradle and grave,
They said;
Yet-
You could smell
The smouldering, sparry,
Whenever they met.

FOURTEEN SHOWS, SIX POETS, ONE VAN…
… YES, IT’S GENERATION TXT

Following the success of acclaimed new poetry anthology Generation Txt, penned in the margins is taking the six gifted young poets featured in the book on a national tour to fourteen venues. Hand-picked from a nationwide search for writing talent, the poets include former Northern Young Writer of the Year Emma McGordon and celebrated performance poet Inua Ellams, as well as Joe Dunthorne, whose debut novel Submarine has just been snapped up by Hamish Hamilton. Natural Sciences graduate Laura Forman, creative writing student Abigail Oborne and experimental poet and text artist James Wilkes complete the bill.

Hailed by distinguished poet and critic Roddy Lumsden as 'a vital cross-section of the poetry that will progress and flourish' and by the TES as 'a creative ideas manual', the Generation Txt tour will be a must-see event for anyone interested in the future of literature.
