Patrick Jones: Antidotes to Dissolution

Poetry and music with Mamadou

Join us at Newport Rising Hub on Friday 6 November for an evening of poetry and live music, launching Patrick Jones’ latest poetry collection, Antidotes to Dissolution, as part of Newport Rising Festival.

Patrick will read from the collection, accompanied by Mamadou, bringing together poetry and music in an intimate setting. The book launch and readings begin at 6.30pm, followed by a musical performance from Mamadou at 7.30pm.

“Patrick Jones’ poems show us the power of a heart clawed open, bloody with anger, despair, grief and love.”

— Jude Rogers
