A poetic retelling of the history of Hip-Hop from the perspective of a Black female until the mid-'90s and the emergence of the Native Tongues Movement. The piece features references to the 15-year-old Roxane Shante and her rap battle with Busy Bee Starski, the influence of the Hip-Hop trio The Sequence and one of the first conscious raps to exist!
An extract of this piece was featured twice on BBC Radio London to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop in 2023.

In The Dark Bristol - New Producers
Creatures of the Rave is a poem about the temptation, atmosphere and thrill of underground raves. It is a first-person narrative account following the arc of one night’s raving, the anticipation beforehand, the rush at its peak and the come down of its closure. The poem aims to uncover what happens at an illegal rave, an unregulated intervention into often discarded public space that can somehow simultaneously be a thing of stigma and status. Eva worked with producers and sound designers to create an immersive drum & bass soundscape to accompany my poem.
