Adam explores the natural world, compassionate farming and Britain's agricultural landscape are central to Adam Horovitz's poetry. He was born in London and bred in the heart of Cider with Rosie country, where he still lives.
Friday sees one of my fave local poets @aahorovitz from Stroud, in the vein of a fave author Laurie Lee, Adam is inspired by his natural surrounds. Adam explores the natural world, compassionate farming and Britain’s agricultural landscape are central to his poetry. He was born in London and bred in the heart of Cider with Rosie country, where he still lives. I have seen him recite before and his words and delivery are 👌
In support is an Open Mic discovery Teddy Maxwell. Remember his 11 minute monologue recited from heart last month? Well if the truth be known it was that event that made me want to curate this night so here we are, two brilliant writers on the stage here in The Hayloft.
Teddy’s writing is influenced by a range of experiences. Ten years of working in frontline social support services - homelessness, addiction, sexual violence and human trafficking - has taken him to the social edge as a witness of the suffering of some of the most marginalised. This has inspired a strong belief in the power of community and collective identity in bringing about positive and long lasting change. His love of English history, the countryside, music, and his hopeless romanticism, are all recurring themes in his work.
We will also be inviting three local poets to perform (tba).
