Agnes Meadows
Agnes has been gypsying around the world since she was 15, and is currently living in London again. She writes about what she sees, feels and imagines, and has performed both in the UK and internationally.
She has five times been a Featured Poet with the Austin International Poetry Festival giving performances and workshops all over Texas, including readings in Spanish, drawing on the 3 years she lived in Mexico. At the 2003 AIPF she won the Christina Sergeyevna Award for Outstanding Writing. Agnes has also performed and led poetry workshops and residencies in Turkey, Spain, Israel and Palestine. She led residencies in all of the Universities on the West Bank, and spent several months in the Gaza Strip working with students from all three of Gaza’s main Universities and the British Council.
Agnes has also run workshops on writing and performing poetry in the corporate sector, and has a wealth of experience of arranging and stage managing performances and shows across London. Agnes is the author of three books of poetry; You and Me, Quantum Love, and Woman (waterways, 2003). She has also produced two CDs of her poetry with music, called Agnes Meadows and Blues Shakin’ My Heels. In addition to her own work, Agnes has also been an adviser on Poetry for Channel 4 TV (UK). She is currently working on a fourth book of her poetry to be published under the waterways imprint of flipped eye publishing in early 2005.
