This month's guest poet is the outstandingly talented Martin Daws
An electrifying poet whose live sets blend
free musicality and innovative lyricism in a unique improvised theatre, Martin
Daws’ work explores life, nature and who the hell we think we are,
anyway! Martin’s poetry shows a rare breadth of style and voice, and he
has been introduced to an audience as ‘a thoroughly nice man’.
Martin is a double Farrago Slam Champ, and
has been runner-up in both the Glastonbury Festival Slam and the John Tripp
Award for Spoken Poetry. He received a coveted five star review on debut
at the Edinburgh Festival (2008) and is the author of the acclaimed book/cd
'Skin Tight the Sidewalk'
Broadcast on numerous occasions, Martin has
published in international journals, and performed extensively around the UK
and Ireland. His musical collaborations with Electro-Acoustic Composer Rob
Mackay have toured internationally, taking video of Martin in performance and
recordings of his voice to multi-media performances in 4 continents.
