* * * * * Dinesh Allirajah and Adam Khan * * * * *
Dinesh is a short story writer and performance poet who has lived and worked in Liverpool since 1985. He published his anthology, A Manner Of Speaking (Spike) in 2004, and his work is included in the Comma Press collection The Book Of Liverpool and the forthcoming Re-Berth. His performances and workshops have taken him around the UK, particularly in the 1990s with the influential Asian Voices Asian Lives collective, and to France, Poland, Germany, Bangladesh and Nigeria. Dinesh’s live performances encompass short story readings and freewheeling jazz poetry – and NEEDS to be experienced live!

With the delivery of a Shakespearian Actor/Manager, and the sensibilities of someone much vexed by those who don’t return their shopping trolleys to the correct bay in the supermarket car park, Adam experiments with language, rhythm and delivery.
Be thee like Mercury, affix feathers to thine heels and get thee to Dead Good Poets Society Guest Night!
