The relationship between UK poetry and music is up for discussion in this podcast episode, recorded live in November 2022 at Bars of Reassurance: Poetry and Grime.
The live conversation, presented by Royal Society of Literature and the Museum of London alongside Crack Magazine, was hosted by producer and writer Tobi Kyeremateng and features poets and acclaimed storytellers Yomi Ṣode and Kayo Chingonyi. The talk was inspired by the museum’s display, Grime Stories: From the corner to the mainstream, which explored the enduring impact of the genre and its footprint in youth culture today.
Tune in to hear the trio celebrate and examine the two artforms, and the ways they inform one another, as well as poetry readings. Ṣode’s Distant Daily Ijó was taken from a short film from the writer and Caleb Femi. You can watch the full film here.
Our podcasts are also available on Apple Podcasts, Acast, Spotify and other audio platforms. This episode was edited by Keziah Wenham-Kenyon.
