Wisteria: Twilight Songs From the Swamp Country
Kwame Dawes
Purcell Room, South Bank Centre, London; Poetry InternationalTuesday 24th October
7.45pm
"In a stunning opening night, we present the London premiere of Wisteria: Twilight Songs from the Swamp Country, Kwame Dawes' prophetic account of the lives of women from South Carolina: lives of honesty, hardship and beauty which span the 20th century. His poems are both a personal journey of understanding and a creation of beauty and grace from a history of suffering.
Combining the lyrical depth of a blues threnody with a spiritual and emotional truth, the poems are heightened by a live musical and vocal score by Kevin Simmonds, and evocative images of the women whose stories we celebrate."
