Featured Event
An Evening of Poetry with Kwame Dawes
Monday 22 February
7.00pm
Fusion, University of Sheffield Students’ Union, Western Bank, Sheffield 10
Tickets: £7.00/£4.00 (concessions) from University of Sheffield Students’ Union
Kwame Dawes is a poet, playwright, novelist, actor and producer and was the
lead singer in reggae band Ujamaa. As a poet he is profoundly influenced by the rhythms and textures of Jamaica, where he is the programming director of the Calabash International Literary Festival. His book, Bob Marley: Lyrical Genius, remains the most authoritative study of the lyrics of the legendary reggae artist and his musical One Love was shown to acclaim at the Lyric, Hammersmith. This is an unmissable opportunity to hear one of the most inspiring voices of our time.
The streets of this city are spaces where the body recalls
the saunter of pleasure and fear, where the possession
of the groove, the maddening tattoo is a relentless language.
from: ska memory by Kwame Dawes
