Since the beginning of May, we’ve been hosting weekly Insta sessions with guests from all over the UK and further afield. These relaxed 30-minute sessions blend performance with insightful conversations from leading and emerging poets.

Next up, we welcome Rushika Wick on Tuesday 16 February. Rushika is a poet and kids’ doctor from South London. She’s performed in London with various collectives including New Gums and Cold Lips Magazine, and in Amsterdam with Rough Night Press.

She’s had work published in various anthologies and magazines including Ambit, Datableed and Poetry Review. She has started making poetry objects (some for performance) and visual poetry more recently and is a student at the Poetry School. Her début collection ‘Afterlife As Trash‘ is published by Verve Poetry Press in April.

This session will be hosted by Matt Abbott. Our previous sessions are available to stream back in full on our Facebook page, YouTube channel and IGTV channel. Find more information and share the event over on Facebook. Our latest session with Iftikhar Latif is available to view below.
