Inua Ellams is part of the Generation Txt tour
One of our young poets, Inua Ellams, of the mouthmark imprint is part of the Generation Txt tour put together by Tom Chivers and penned in the margins. If you can, catch him in action alongside an array of talented young writers. Details below:GENERATION TXT IS ON THE ROAD
Get ready to experience literature from the frontline in a whirlwind journey
from scars to scrap-bins; from tea smuggling to suicide.
Following the success of acclaimed new poetry anthology Generation Txt,
penned in the margins is taking the six gifted young poets featured in the
book on a national tour to fourteen venues.
Hand-picked from a nationwide search for writing talent, the poets include
former Northern Young Writer of the Year Emma McGordon and celebrated
performance poet Inua Ellams, as well as Joe Dunthorne, whose debut novel
Submarine has just been snapped up by Hamish Hamilton. Natural Sciences
graduate Laura Forman, creative writing student Abigail Oborne and
experimental poet and text artist James Wilkes complete the bill.
Hailed by distinguished poet and critic Roddy Lumsden as 'a vital
cross-section of the poetry that will progress and flourish' and by the TES
as 'a creative ideas manual', the Generation Txt tour will be a must-see
event for anyone interested in the future of literature.
