After taking a break for December and January, the DATABLEEDER poetry reading series, curated by Dr Nell Perry and Dr Juha Virtanen, is back with its first event of 2019.
The event will take place on Wednesday, February 6, for a 7pm start, at The Parrot (St Radigunds, CT1 2AG), and it will feature poetry from:
TOMI ADEGBAYIBI
Poet currently trying to work on a new book and in between writing for magazines. My poems when they do decide to come out are realities I can’t contain. I’m hopping between these spaces and hopefully, I can account for them in words.

And the following SPECIAL GUEST readers:
SHAAN SAGGAR
Shaan Saggar is a second-year student at Kent. She grew up in North London, and her poetry often engages with her identity as a second-generation Indian/Kenyan person.
REECE CORDERY
