Poetry Open Mic

Poetry Open Mic featuring Jude Neale

Jude Neale is a Canadian poet, vocalist, spoken word performer and mentor. She was shortlisted, highly commended and finalist for many international competitions.

‘Water Forgets its Own Name’ is a sumptuous, indulgent mash-up by two incredibly driven creatives: a poet and an artist, who divest everything except for raw, visceral responses – to a small island that shapes who they are, and which makes their hearts sing. With its juxtaposition of poetry set to art, this book comes as close as anything ever has to encapsulating the shared depth of gratitude of small community for its unique island home.

Sign-up for the open mic starts at 6:45. One poem per reader, max. 3 minutes.
