the87press & The Standard, London Present: Hummingbirds, A Literary Salon
the87press invites you to join us at Hummingbird, a literary salon taking place at The Standard, London. The hummingbird is a surrealist motif that symbolises love and dialogue, something which we wish to foster further within poetry and literature.
Kashif Sharma-Patel will be launching in-person their debut collection furnish, entrap (Broken Sleep Books), and will be reading alongside Sabeen Chaudhry, whose Rimming the Event Horizon came out last year from the87press. After the reading they will both be engaged in conversation by Azad Ashim Sharma touching on themes of South Asian experimentalism, the provisionality of identity and late coloniality.
Mishti will provide compositional soundscapes during the event in keeping with the mood of innovative aesthetics and Asian experimentation.
Do join us for what promises to be an enjoyable and stimulating afternoon!
