Venue : Conservatory Terrace
15:00–16:00
Featuring: Raymond Antrobus, Courtney Conrad Moderator: Rommi Smith
Two of the most distinctive voices in Black British poetry take the stage — not to talk about poems, but to read them, live, the way they were always meant to be heard.
Raymond Antrobus and Courtney Conrad bring a powerful live reading before settling into an intimate, unguarded conversation about where Black British poetry stands right now — and where it’s headed next. Moderated by Rommi Smith, winner of the Northern Writers Prize for Poetry, this is three exceptional minds in the same room, going deep on language, identity, and the particular power of a poem read aloud by the person who wrote it.
Expect goosebumps before you expect answers. Expect the kind of silence a room only holds when everyone’s actually listening.
