About this Event

Joelle Taylor, in association with RTB Spoken Word, presents the launch of her brand new collection ‘Songs My Enemy Taught Me’ live in Bristol, with a fabulous support line-up curated by Joelle.



As well as a full performance from Joelle Taylor consisting of pieces from the brand new collection, feature sets from Craft-D, Sabrina Mahfouz and Gecko will support the book launch.



Songs My Enemy Taught Me is a collection of back-alley poetry and flick-knife tales detailing Woman’s global struggle against sexual terrorism and colonisation. Songs of Silence. Songs of Survival. Songs of Uprising. Comprised of poetry, text messages, landays, letters, news flashes and personal stories these are poems plucked from news stories concerning women across the globe and re-imagined by poet, playwright, and author Joelle Taylor. Some stories are her own. Others are yours.

The book will be published by Out Spoken Press on July 10 2017 and will be joint edited by Sabrina Mahfouz and Anthony Anaxagorou.



Joelle is an award winning spoken word artist, poet, playwright and author. She has performed across the UK as well as internationally for the British Council (Zimbabwe, Brazil, Botswana) taking in a diverse range of venues from the 100 Club, the 02 Arena, the Royal Festival Hall, the Globe, and Buckingham Palace. She was awarded a Fellowship of the Royal Society Arts in 2015 as well as being named as one of Southbank Centre’s Nelson Mandela Change Makers for positively affecting cultural Britain.

Join one of the UK’s pioneering poets of the modern age for the launch of an incredible, powerful and necessary collection.
