David Way and Philip Herbert

After the Toni Morrison event in Queen Elizabeth Hall last night, we were treated to some performances curated by Africa Beyond. The mood was warm and friendly, with lots of people staying around after the talk to hear the performance poets and musicians. Here’s the full list of performers in case you lost track of your programme:

Zena Edwards performance poet > myspace

Philip Herbert pianist and composer > myspace

Angela Caesar vocal soloist

David Way violinist

Poetry International blog well underway

Our Poetry International 2008 blog is up and running, and full to the brim already. Everyone from our Artist in Residence Lemn Sissay to poet and blogger Katy Evans-Bush to the Head of Literature and Spoken Word at Southbank Centre Rachel Holmes (and more and more and more) are leaving their thoughts about this year’s festival.

Go and take a look.
