This will be a rare opportunity to meet two great writers and poets; Serbian poet and academic Nina Zivancevic (also Allen Ginsberg’s personal assistant for many years) + Neil Oram, best known as the author of ‘The Warp’ (an extraordinary 22 hour play celebrating ‘alternative living’ performed at the ICA, Roundhouse, Edinburgh Festival and other venues in the 1980’s, 90’s and early 2000’s).
Nina will be accompanied by composer and ‘multi-instrumentalist’ Zoran Petkovic on electric keyboard.
There will also be a special guest performances by American-exile poet Win Harms, author of ‘In Harms Way’. Her latest book of poems ‘Boys n Booze’ is currently ‘in production’.
Please watch this space for a full program for the evening.
