Biography
The dreadlockalien aka Richard Grant has just become Birmingham's 10th Poet Laureate for 2005/6. Hopefully his poetry will make you think on, long after the glow of immediacy has gone. From the genre of live literature, the dreadlockalien engages and lyrically abducts audiences with energy, word art and socially conscious thoughts.
Abstract
Delegates please fasten your seatbelts as this will not be a "steel pan and samosa" view of diversity and represents more of a cutting edge and diverse poetic experience.
