patience agbabi A ‘post-watershed poet’ For the first time, Patience Agbabi will be alighting in Lewes long enough to perform her poetry at the Lewes Monday Literary Club. You’ve called yourself a ‘post-watershed poet’. Should we prepare to be shocked? It depends whether you read the Guardian or the Daily Mail! I’m currently completing a contemporary version of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, so it’s a good idea not to bring the children. I mostly write for adults and some of my work’s influenced by film noir so there’s sometimes sex, violence and/or strong language. I’d be uncomfortable if there were children present but I have been known to offend adults. If you come prepared to be shocked, you won’t be shocked. So you’ve been influenced by long-dead white men. Anyone in particular apart from Chaucer? Other long-dead white men include Wordsworth for attempting to write in the simple, direct language really spoken by men, and Coleridge for The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Christabel. And there’s still a place in my heart for the Romantics. But there are loads of more recently dead writers I’m inspired by, like Robert Frost and Michael Donaghy. And loads of women poets still alive and kicking: Carol Ann Duffy and Sharon Olds, Jackie Kay and Kate Clanchy, Leontia Flynn and Catherine Smith. The list goes on… As an alive-and-kicking poet yourself, is it all about being on the stage rather than the page? It’s both. I’ve spent the last fifteen years trying to close the chasm between the two. There was a time when you were either a ‘page’ poet or a ‘performance’ poet, as if you couldn’t be both. As if poetry itself couldn’t be both. I generally rhyme and my work is accessible, so it lends itself well to performance. Some poems are born for performance; others have performance thrust upon them. If I had to choose between the two, I’d go for the page. It all starts with the writing. Without the page, there’d be no stage. www.vivaLewes.CoM Photo by: Lyndon douglas LiTeRaTuRe You did a Creative Writing MA at Sussex. Was that a formative experience? It was one of the best years of my life. I’d already published my first two books but it gave me permission to write full time rather than fit it in around other activities. I wrote a corona (a sonnet sequence where the last line of one becomes the first line of the next, and the very last line is the same as the first). I lived, ate and slept sonnets. I began my love affair with film noir which has become a strong influence on my work. So, yes, it was a creative feast. Were you a frequent visitor to Lewes during that year? I used to change at Lewes to go to Falmer, but there was never time to hang about. But I have a soft spot for Sussex because I lived in Goddards Green as a child and went to Twineham School. Part of me is still in Sussex. Juliette Mitchell Patience Agbabi will be at Pelham House on 26th March, 8pm. For more information, contact chris. mondaylit@gmail.com. 29
