Saturday 18th July, 2009Poetry Arena
Friday 17th July, 2009Luke Wright is co-programmer of Latitude's Stand-up Poetry Arena and its main host. This year he will be bringing a wealth of new talent including Emily Berry, Ash Sarkar, Brigitte Aphrodite, Joe Duggan, David VanCauter, Mark Grist, Ian Horn, Helen Mort, Steve Rooney and Jack Stannard.
Born in North London to two imminently divorcing social workers, Ash Sarkar is a 17 year old poet with more eyeliner than sense. From Camden Lock to the Surrey Downs (via her mum’s kitchen), she’ll take you on a guided tour of the perils of adolescence characterised by smack-head boyfriends, disappointing sexual encounters and twenty-decks of Lucky Strikes. You can find her on Facebook, or in the pages of everyone’s favourite “tabloid poetry” zine, Rising.
