'Katrina Naomi's poems are fresh and
surprising - they're user-friendly, willing to link arms with you, but then
they tug you along in unlikely directions. Roddy Lumsden
By day, Denrele writes preposterous
stories, and a good few poems, mostly about love, lust and other sexually
transmitted diseases. Sometimes she performs them. Sometimes she sings. She is
probably the only living poet to ever write a tribute song to Neil Gaiman. And
she's okay with that. Denrele has performed in fine venues across London including the Barbican, BAC
and the South Bank and her work has been published many journals and
anthologies including IC3 - The Penguin Book of New Black Writing in Britain,
and Velocity: The best of Apples and Snakes.

Grim Chip has been appearing - and then mysteriously disappearing - on the poetry circuit for the last ten years. A boxing & cricket enthusiast, if you've caught his stuff, then you remember it - he's not an easy man to forget. His poetry, both the personal and the political, is pertinent and powerful, with a delivery to match. His work, published in Rising, South Bank Poetry and Pen Pusher proves that the page/stage divide is not one that he pays much attention to. The man takes poetry very seriously and thinks it best that you do too. Better pay attention - the brother's grim.
