Programme Highlights - Alice Notley, Poetry Reading

In 2019, we welcomed American Poet Alice Notley to Camden Art Centre.

Notley read from her own collection of poems, including Certain Magical Acts and Benediction. You can listen to the poet’s reading below.

Programme Highlights - Long Song For Summer

Long Song For Summer was a poetry festival celebrating the work of a wide range of experimental and avant-garde poets based in or in regular contact with the UK in the 21st Century.

A group of 12 poets were joined by DJs, emphasising the unique and altogether vanguard crossovers between bass and lyric cultures.

You can listen to recordings of the poets by clicking below.
