Tuesday 22 May - Hallucinated Horse: New Latin American Poets

Hallucinated Horse is a bilingual sampler of cutting-edge poetry by young poets from across Spanish-speaking America. Featuring a compelling line-up of fat mums, obsessive adolescents, ex-revolutionaries, drugged-up horses and synthetic flowers, Hallucinated Horse was compiled and translated by the brilliant Puerto Rican poet Nicole Delgado and Pighog's Assistant Editor Tom Slingsby, who will be reading from this exciting new volume at Metrodeco on Tuesday 22 May. Free entry

Both at Metrodeco on Thursday 24 May. Tickets £10 / £8 concs
