Poetry Hearings presents English language poets, focusing on those based in continental Europe. Cutting across poetic divisions, the festival brings together writers working in diverse traditions: the mainstream, the experimental, the formal, the free-ranging, performance and prose poetry. Interesting, quality work is possible in all these forms; the festival aims to give it a hearing.
Calling all maniacal sound'n'visionary performance and post-new-art lovers: Berlin's sadly no longer secret cult venue Wallywoods at Weissensee is one year old this weekend. Be there or miss Berlin's freakiest party on Saturday (starting with a wee freaky party on Friday) featuring the opening of our biggest exhibition yet, 23 artists from 20 lands, umpteen music & nutter acts including Isondu Tribe's light-jugglers dropping in from Argentina, the 10 Kaput Pianos Orchestra (open jam sessions), performance piano-painters, a new theramin, an old local bugger who won't leave us alone, and no doubt the odd surprise or VIP. Love to see you. Alive and well. Wally. (Free entry Saturday for everyone, especially naked people with money to spend. )
