Rukus in Holding Our Ground at The Albany, London

Rukus will be previewing some of his My Place or Yours work this Friday at The Albany in Deptford, London as part of Holding Our Ground, “a celebration of poetry and place”.

Also on the line-up is the wild and wonderful Mark Gwynne Jones, who will be presenting Whose Common Now?, a specially commissioned poem-sequence that celebrates London’s parkland whilst pondering the extent to which the public really owns so-called public places.

In addition, we’ve got London Transport Museum’s poet-in-residence Abraham Gibson and sometime BBC playwright Nandita Ghose adding their own sidelong take on what it means to be a Londoner (or not). And finally, there’ll be some placey post-punk chanson from Sussex songthrush Pog.

When: Friday 15 May 8pm
Where: The Albany, Douglas Way, London, SE8 4AG
Tickets: £8 / £5
