SPOKEN WORD

This month we’re very privileged to have Sheffield poet HELEN MORT with us at Vox. Five times winner of the Foyle Young Poets of the Year competition, and winner of the Manchester Young Poet Prize (2008), Helen’s work has appeared in a variety of magazines and anthologies including Tower Poetry, The Rialto and Poetry London. Her pamphlet, ‘the shape of every box’, was published by tall-lighthouse in 2007, the same year she received an Eric Gregory Award from the Society of Authors. She has performed her work at the Ledbury Festival, at St Anza in Scotland, at the Oxford Literary Festival and in Buckingham Palace. She is currently working towards a first full collection. She runs a Poetry Society Stanza and is part of the CB1 Poetry steering group, hosting readings in Cambridge city centre.

ART

This month we’ll have an exhibition from Sheffield artist ISOBELLE TAYLOR. After completing her art degree at Reading University Isabelle returned to Sheffield where she has been involved in a number of projects and exhibitions in photography, textiles and on canvas. This is her second appearance at Vox, and she’ll be displaying photography from recent travels around Africa.

We have setup a Facebook Event for this Vox Night so if you’re on Facebook connect there too to stay in the loop.
