In ‘The Wasteland,’ T.S. Eliot famously wrote that ‘April is the cruellest month…´
But Poetry Unleashed is having none of it.
April is poetry month.
17 April is Haiku Day.
And let us not forget about our man Billy…
William Shakespeare always knew how to neatly tie up a story.
To this end he dies on his 52nd birthday:
b.23 April 1564
d. 23 April 1616
Ergo, on 25 April Poetry Unleashed will present an evening of
‘Much Haiku About Nothing…’
Klokken 20:00 at Den Lille
Hillerødgade 85
2200
København
50 kroner at the door
‘Exit, pursued by a bear…’
Doors at 19.
Showstart at 20.
