Deliberate Rhythm – Kevin Simmonds
For his Jack Straw residency, Kevin Simmonds brings to life historic figures in his lilting and revealing poetry. His background as a musician and his roots in New Orleans, lend a rhythmic, melancholic sensibility to his work. Among the themes he touches on are rights issues, loss, and sexuality.
Music by The Black Cat Orchestra, produced as part of the Jack Straw Artist Support Program.
