SUMMARY:Tate Liverpool: Liverpool Biennial 2016: Tate Liverpool: Summer Ses
 sions: Free Radicals
DESCRIPTION:Tate Liverpool: Summer Sessions: Free Radicals\n\nBOOK HERE\n\n
 Join radical poets Juliana Spahr and Sean Bonney\, and new British poet Ru
 by Robinson for an evening of politically-charged poetry readings. Situate
 d in the context of the contemporary avant-garde\, Spahr and Bonney’s po
 etry undermines the political and cultural establishment\, giving a fresh 
 voice to the dispossessed. Also interested in dismantling and rebuilding\,
  Robinson’s poetry engages with class issues\, exploring the contemporar
 y world in scrupulous detail\, and offering up imaginative and emotionally
 -rich commentary on legacies of trauma.\n\nBased in America\, Spahr’s wo
 rk addresses the defining issues of our time\, including global terrorism\
 , late capitalism\, and environmental threat. Spahr was actively involved 
 in the 2011 Occupy Movement\, her experience of which she urgently reflect
 s upon in The Winter the Wolf Came (2015). Spahr is the founder of Commune
  Editions\, a publishing project whose aim is to publish poetry as a compa
 nion to political action. In 2009 Spahr was the recipient of the Hardison 
 Poetry Prize.\n\nExperimental\, angry and politically committed\, Bonney
 ’s poetry marks a progression and continuance of The British Poetry Revi
 val. His recent collection of epistolary poems Letters Against the Firmame
 nt (2015)\, offers up a vivid and fierce account of the sheer brutality of
  the Austerity years in Britain. Bonney’s performance style is energetic
  and distinctive. By performing at occupations\, on demonstrations and on 
 picket lines Bonney firmly situates his work within the political contexts
  with which it engages.\n\nDrawing from neuroscience on the idea of ‘int
 ernal gain’— an internal volume control which helps us amplify and fo
 cus on quiet sounds in times of threat\, danger or intense concentration 
 — Ruby Robinson’s powerful and imaginative debut poetry collection Ev
 ery Little Sound (2016)\, reflects on ideas of separateness and connectedn
 ess of human experience in relationships\, and our capacity to harm and lo
 ve. Every Little Sound has recently been shortlisted for The Felix Dennis 
 Prize for Best First Collection 2016.
