Monday 5 July sees the seasons finale of the acclaimed Jam Bones: Manic Monday live performance poetry events. With yet more fine performance poetry and spoken word, this time they offer up for your hearing, viewing, and mento-emotional feasting the following wonderful poetry and prose artists:
Liv Torc (pictured)
The winner of the south west heat of the Radio 4 National Poetry Slam 2009, Liv Torc is a stand-up poet, comedian and the 2010 Bard of Exeter.
She has shared a stage with John Hegley, Murray Lachlan Young, Andrew Motion and Matt Harvey, working for Apples and Snakes, Phrased and Confused and the Wondermentalist Cabaret.
She is the poet in residence for Exeter’s first ever Poetry Festival (Oct 10) and an honorary bard of the international order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (OBOD).
She is also the shyly proud author of the shiny poetry compendium Take Your Monkey and Get out of My Life and Dancing Naked in Banana Land.
Catrin Dafydd
Author, dramatist, poet, political campaigner, performer and musician, Catrin won the Medal Lenyddiaeth (literature prize) at the Urdd Eisteddfod, Cardiff 2005 and has won 2nd and 3rd places in the Crown, Chair and Drama Prize competitions 11 times in five years.
Her first play, entitled Sua’r Gwynt, was broadcast on Radio Cymru in December 2004 and two other plays were broadcast in 2006. Catrin won an Academi bursary in 2004 to work on her first novel, entitled Pili Pala (Gomer, 2006).
