Speak Easy, November 2024

 

Last night at Speak Easy (Our Spoken Word Open Mic night at Dulicmer, Chorlton) was a special night for a few reasons as a old uni friend of mine who I have known for the better part of 25 years read, Andy and also Natasha Tingle (who guest hosted) had the pleasure of introducing her son, Simon on stage, Speak Easy I’ve found over the years, me, Amanda and Steve Smythe have ran it have found it is full of wonderful little stories which bring it together into the welcoming and friendly and supportive family that it was. I found out off Andy this morning before he drove back home, he thought it was going to be a quiet, little reading maybe around the table, not having 22 readers and over 50 to 55 people attending with people from Simon’s age (21) right up to Kevin Bamford (who is 90) and he said to me honestly, he wishes he lived more local as he would be there all the time.

Pictures from the night are now uploaded on the Speak Easy page as always took by Amanda are now on our facebook page –

New Spoken Label Podcast - Kate Jenkinson

 

* Bonus Episode *

Latest up from Spoken Label (Spoken Word Podcast / Poetry) features the return of our friend, Kate Jenkinson.

Dr Kate Jenkinson is scientist and poet reconciled and is one of a handful of LinkedIN Business Poets. She likes hats, writes about the many ones she wears (Mother, Daughter, Friend, Coach, entrepreneur) and she enjoys performing at open mics and slams since the pandemic made the poetry community more accessible. In 2022 she performed her TEDx talk Poetry Never Abandons Us and she enjoys attending and headlining events internationally.

Her work can be found in EyeFlash, Good DadHood, Steel Jackdaw, Flight of the Dragonfly and Feral (their first Mother/Daughter poetry and art collaboration).

Kate recently realised she was neurodivergent so this and her aphantasia is a feature of her recent work.

This bonus episode talks directly about Kate's debut poetry book 'Unbroken'.

'Unbroken' is described as "Kate Jenkinson's debut collection is a tale of self-discovery. Delving into her past to analyse and embrace her neurodivergencies. Sometimes heart-wrenching and difficult, sometimes glorious and life-affirming, always about acceptance.

As an aphantasic poet, it is about much more than creating a visual image for Kate. Her poetry lies in the sounds, tastes and touch that she experiences; the emotions that come from all senses. With sublime natural lyricism, and joy in wordplay, rhyme and alliteration, her slam poetry comes to life on the page. Sitting alongside beautiful form and free verse poetry, it is a marriage of the soul.

Kate's poetry will have you looking inward, while she holds your hand, showing you how to accept yourself to ultimately become Un/Broken"

Kate can be found on both facebook and Linkedin:

Her book is available either through Kate directly or
