Whitehall Jackals: With Jeremy Reed and Chris McCabe
3. 30pm – 4.30pm, Tailors, £7/5
Poet and novelist Jeremy Reed was dubbed by the Independent as ‘British poetry’s glam, spangly, shape-shifting answer to David Bowie’, and by Pete Doherty as ‘a legend’. Reed is known for his visionary mining of subject matter. Among his biggest fans are J.G. Ballard, Pete Doherty and Bjork, who called his work, ‘the most beautiful, outrageously brilliant poetry in the world.’ Chris McCabe (b. 1977) is a widely-published poet. His first collection, The Hutton Inquiry, was welcomed by the Guardian as evidence of a poet who combined ‘the lower-case lightness of Tom Raworth and the northern comic realism of Simon Armitage’.
