An evening of Poetry, Spoken Word and Performance-Featuring Tom Sastry, Ergo Phizmiz, Jeremy Toombs, Seth Guy.
TOM SASTRY:
“A magician of deadpan” – Hera Lindsay Bird
"Tom Sastry navigates the mysterious everyday...making friendships and love affairs new and strange" - Carol Ann Duffy
Tom Sastry once co-edited a book of poems about the future which turned into a book about the apocalypse because no-one could believe he would want to read anything remotely cheerful. His pamphlet Complicity (2016) was a Poetry School Book of the Year and a Poetry Book Society pamphlet choice. His first collection A Man's House Catches Fire (2019) was highly commended in the Forward Prize and shortlisted for the Seamus Heaney First Collection Prize. His latest, You Have No Normal Country To Return To (2022) is also quite good (citation needed).
ERGO PHIZMIZ:
Ergo Phizmiz is a writer, composer, artist, filmmaker and theatre director who has been inflicting their savoury produce on an unsuspecting world for 25 years.

JEREMY TOOMBS:
'A true beat poet. Captivating Cajun cadence, steeped in subtle soul and Mississippi metre.' -Byron Vincent (Writer, Performer & Activist)
Illinois-born, Kentucky-raised, resident of Bristol, Jeremy Toombs has published two books of Poetry 'Ten Thousand Things' (Burning Eye Press, 2013) & 'Who Knows?' (Burning Eye Press, 2017). From 2010-2018 he helped run the now legendary Arts House Open Mic nights, in Stokes Croft.
SETH GUY:
Seth Guy appropriates, reconfigures and juxtaposes materials to create playful performative works which explore the discourse between ear and eye.
Influenced by his interests in experimental fiction, art, and music, Seth's research investigates the intersections of shared language, of memory, and imagination, in which the acts of listening and visualising are investigated. Often collaborating and devising projects of a participatory and experiential nature, Seth makes both sonic art and visual art - sound compositions, performances, and collage - work which is often humorous, and occasionally disquieting.
