Joy of Six: Aldeburgh Poetry Festival TODAY!

Joy of Six

1.00 - 1.30pm • James Cable Room • PF32 • £5
Part of the Aldeburgh Poetry Festival

The poetry world’s version of a jazz combo, this ensemble brings a seamlessly dynamic play of voices and styles, with poems and jokes passed between performers like melodies, riffs and improvisations.

Joy of Six is a group of five prizewinning poets – Anne Berkeley, Martin Figura, Peter Howard, André Mangeot and Andrea Porter – who have been performing together since 2000. Their unusual integrated sets blend their very different voices and styles into a seamless unpredictable whole. Their poems are widely published in the best magazines and anthologies and they have seven collections between them.
