HEADLINE POET: MAXI DI POET

Maxi Di Poet is a spoken word artist with Caribbean Family roots in Barbados ??, as well as Vibrations Poetry former host and performer at the Caribbean Club in Coventry.

"I am a Coventry Poet and performer and started writing creative short stories and poetry at the age of 11. I've always loved words, acting, music, dancing and culture. I never used to share my poetry because I used to keep it to myself. To me, poetry is therapy and I've been sharing for roughly 3 years now. I've performed at Coventry's Godiva Festival 2024, the open mics at Fire&amp;Dust, and have also performed in Birmingham at Poetry Jam, Empower, Kohetry and Poet's Palace. I have supported Alison Manning with Sparks Young Writing Group, which I loved, at the Belgrade Theatre and also supported Fire&amp;Dust as a host for the Action Rayz 'Dreadbeat an' Blood' poetry event at the Coventry Cathedral, showing a film of Linton Kwesi Johnson. 

I would love to get a typewriter and do pop-ups from poetry for people in Coventry. I love to support poetry and the scene and was shortlisted for Coventry Poetry Laureate - and my good friend Andrea got that position. I've enjoyed meeting the Lord Mayor and other people in the city that I love, us poetry. 

When Fire&amp;Dust was doing their poetry in Fargo Village I remember attending, but this was a time I wasn't sharing but I did equally enjoy the space of being in the audience to watch. (This was in the Big Comfy Bookshop days.)"
