SUMMARY:Art:Up Poetry - Radical Islands
DESCRIPTION:The Art:Up Continues!\nArt:Up Poetry - Radical Islands\nThursday 13th November\n6.00pm (doors open 5pm)\nHot Box\n28 Viaduct Road\, Chelmsford\, CM1 1TS\nWe are delighted to be involved in the Art:Up! project\, a joint initiative between the University of Essex\, Waxes Lyrical at HotBox in Chelmsford\, Poetry Plus in Manningtree\, Boho Banter in Clacton-On-Sea and Essex Book Festival.\n\nThe theme for this leg of the tour is Radical Islands\, linking in with Essex Book Festival's Radical Islands project. You can pen a poem by yourself or collabrate. If you want to collaborate and have a collaborator then great\, if you need to find a collaborator then drop poetry@hotboxlive.co.uk a line in the first instance and they will get the ball rolling.\n\nWhen thinking about the word Island\, it can be one of the 35 islands around the Essex coastline\, or maybe Mesopotamia Island in Chelmsford\, let your minds wander.\n\nThe Art:Up! project which is is part of “The Being Human Festival\, the U.K.’s Festival of the Humanities” was launched at the University’s Art Exchange gallery as part of the 2025 Essex Book Festival.\n\nFor the first event Essex (and HOT BOX) poets Ethan Stewart and Babalon Anon launched the open mic show and eco-poet Linden K McMahon headlined. Fifteen poets performed and Babalon Anon commented that "there is no diversity without neurodiversity".\n\nThere will be a book of selected works\, and the final showcase event will form part of the 2026 Essex Book Festival.\n\nFollow art_up_poetry on Instagram\n\nContact Jordan Savage jksava@essex.ac.uk\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n
