The death of London nightclubs and celebrating nightlife culture features heavily in his work.

Poet in the City is one of the UK’s leading poetry organisations. Their mission is to bring poets and communities closer together. They do this through producing large-scale multi-disciplinary events and projects that use poetry to animate moments of cultural and social change, platform marginalised voices and create dramatic poetry experiences in arts venues and everyday spaces.

The City of London Corporation, together with the Barbican, Guildhall School of Music & Drama, London Symphony Orchestra and the Museum of London, are bringing the area to life with imaginative collaborations and exciting events.
