David Chislett will be appearing at Skoobs Theatre of Books in Montecasino on the evening of Wednesday 15 August with a story-telling and music poetry performance.
Chislett released his debut poetry collection, For Your Or Someone Like You in July 2012 and has been playing live poetry shows around Johannesburg weekly since then. The performance includes stories from Chislett’s past, reflections on writing and glimpses into the motivations of the poems. He also recites spontaneous selections from the book and plays musical versions of some of the poems during the performance.
There is no admission charge for the show, but the Champagne Bar will be open and snacks will be available for the early birds who arrive first. Chislett’s book, For Your Or Someone Like you will be on sale on the night and he will be doing random giveaways of the music CD that was recorded from the poems.
Artists featured on the album include Matthew Van Der Want, Shannon Hope, Rambling Jay Bones and Shotgun Tori.
Come and meet the poet and enjoy a different, interactive literary night out with Skoobs.
Venue: Skoobs, 1 Montecasino Boulevard, Fourways, Johannesburg
