Some of the UK’s best poets and performers will be coming to the Norfolk & Norwich Festival Speak Easy. TOAST is poetry, but not as you know it. Norfolk’s biggest poetry night, hosted by Lewis Buxton, is taking over a festival stage for three days of poetry, spoken word, story telling and performance. Funny, emotional and entertaining, TOAST redefines what poetry is and can be.
Dean Atta
Dean Atta is an award-winning Black British author and poet of Greek Cypriot and Jamaican heritage whose works have received praise from Bernardine Evaristo and Malorie Blackman. His novel in verse, The Black Flamingo, about a Black gay teen finding his voice through poetry and drag performance, won the Stonewall Book Award and was shortlisted for numerous further prestigious awards. His poetry collection, There is (still) love here, explores acceptance, queer joy and the power of unapologetically being yourself and fully embracing who you are. Dean was born and raised in London, where he still lives.
