In honour of Franklyn Rodgers’ exhibition Devotion, join us as three exceptional poets share their visions of family, heritage, and relationships spanning generations.
In the midst of the Windrush scandal, Poems for Loretta centres the voices of rising Black British Caribbean poets: Anita Barton-Williams, Jeremiah ‘Sugar J’ Brown, and Kareem Parkins-Brown.
Each poet will share a selection of work, along with their perspectives on what it means to honour the history of Britain’s Afro-Caribbean community as a means of protecting its future.
Anita Barton-Williams is a poet and the mother and father of Heaux Noire, a live poetry and music night for Black and Brown womxn.
Jeremiah ‘Sugar J’ Brown is a Barbican Young Poet and one of the faces of Nationwide’s Voices campaign. His debut play, A Likkle Rum with Grandma features as part of this year’s The Last Word festival at Roundhouse.
Kareem Parkins-Brown is a former Barbican Young Poet whose work has featured at venues across London including Roundhouse and the Royal Academy of Arts.
