The British Council have brought the writer and poet Levi Tafari (www.levitafari.com) to Malta to lead a series of creative writing workshops in Maltese schools as part of the British Council's INDIE project (Inclusion and Diversity in Education).
Tonight he performed a number of his poems at St James Cavalier Centre for Creativity in Valletta. His poems are deeply rooted in the oral tradition, follow a strong reggae beat and are peppered with witty observations of the world. He performed pieces covering a wide range of subjects including the environment, diversity, politics and relationships. Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough to get my hands on a copy of his book as they sold like hot cakes after the performance!
His style is rhythmic and lyrical and has the ability to make you smile and to make you think.
