Tilt Spokenwd | John Agard at London Liming Feb 2013: 'Hippo Writes', 'Two Ugly Sisters', 'Viagra in my Cocoa' @TiltSpokenWord | Uploaded March 2013 | Updated October 2024, 19 hours ago.
John Agard performs a suite of his poems at the February London Liming, including a schools favourite 'Hippo Writes a Love Poem to his Wife'. The Tilt Patron also presents 'Viagra in My Cocoa', a poem so inflected with calypso rhythms and sensibility, it could probably stand up and be counted in a contemporary calypso competition. Agard has been a Poet-in-Residence at the National Maritime Museum and the BBC and is a much-loved and studied poet on the GCSE curriculum. View more videos at ontilt.org
