Visions of the City II - Thursday 3 July

The second Visions of the City features an exciting lineup of literary stars - emerging talent Hannah Silva, hotly-tipped poet Chris McCabe, and cult writer Iain Sinclair. Plus new work from Bishopsgate Institute's Poet in Residence Tom Chivers.

Iain Sinclair is the de factor chronicler of contemporary London. Poet, novelist, essayist, anthologist, filmmaker and former book dealer, Sinclair has been described as ‘incomparable … the De Quincy of English letters’ by Peter Ackroyd. He is the author of numerous books of fiction, non-fiction and poetry, the latest of which is London: City of Disappearances (Hamish Hamilton).

Chris McCabe’s poetry is raw, energetic and experimental, covering topics as diverse as Iraq, fatherhood and Pete Doherty. His second collection of poetry is published this year with the provisional title Zeppelins and follows his acclaimed debut The Hutton Inquiry.

Hannah Silva is a young, fast-talking poet, performer and choreographer from Devon. Her City Fragments captures the speed, energy and contradictions of 21st century urban life.
