Imagine Being Without Pen and Paper
Posted by Maxine on 5-11-2009
You're probably used to my shameless plugs on this blog by now, but this event's well worth checking out. On Saturday night, I'm donating a half hour unaccompanied set of my patois and hip hop poetry to Pen and Paper, a charity organisation which raises money for Pens and Paper to be provided to thousands of refugees in east Sudan. There will be African food stalls (can taste it now...) and a number of other performances.
Please come along if you can. It's too difficult for most of us to even imagine being displaced by war or famine. Perhaps we can start by thinking about what it might be like to be without Pen and Paper.
