House of Hunger Poetry Slam
THE ‘FEEL-GOOD’ POETRY SLAM
The Book Café, Harare, Zimbabwe
Sat 01 Nov 2008, 2-5pm
Harare’s Book Café will be blazing hot on Saturday 01 November with the monthly ‘House of Hunger Poetry Slam’ from 2-5pm, giving poets a platform to express themselves freely and explicitly through the spoken word.
The theme for November is ‘Giving each other a boost’ – poetry that feels good and leaves the listener with renewed energy to embrace each day, despite the mad man-made challenges Zimbabweans are facing as a people. “Life is tough, times are terribly hard and we need to give each other a boost; to celebrate the love and strength we give to each other in our daily lives,” said Mandla Ncube, project officer for Pamberi Trust which hosts the slam.
