Last night Scarlett performed a reading from her new book 'Rocking Underground' at Poetry Unplugged in Covent Garden, one of the most prestigious poetry open mic nights in London.
The official launch of my book of poems "Rocking Underground" was at the Chelsea Arts Club on the 16th December 2014. The lovely artist Alice Stallard had augumented her original illustration to coincide with the event, and after an introduction from her, I performed three poems, Rocking Underground, a new piece of work Euphoric Kiss, and Unnatural Act, we then had an interval for book sales and drinks followed by more poems, The Master, Search and Destroy, Love Song and Shackles, and then Rocking Underground was requested to be read again.
The Chelsea Arts Club has always been a supportive and nurturing creative environment for me, so it was with high emotion and gratitude that I performed there.
I was invited to read on Monday the 15th December at the prestigious Coffee House Poetry night at The Troubadour, Old Brompton Road, London. The theme was "Out of the blue!" Out of over 40 poets I was shortlisted with my poem "Rocking Underground". It was a privilege and an honour to perform at such a historic venue, that I have often made pilgrimage to, and especially as Bob Dylan performed there in 1962.
Scarlett featured in the October 2014 edition of Kensington, Chelsea & Westminster Today. Read two of her poems below.
