Poetry Open Mic at the Wellington, Seaford – 13th December

Join us at the Wellington Hotel in Seaford (33 Steyne Road, BN25 1HT), 7pm for 7.30, for another Seahaven Poets Open Mic!

Enjoy a performance by our Guest Poet Jasmine Sharif, read your own work, or simply indulge in the spoken word.

Grab a drink, maybe get some food and enjoy the evening in the excellent hospitality of the team at the Wellington.

There'll be plenty of time for open mic slots, but if you don't want to read or perform, just sit back and enjoy the ambience. It'll be great

Our Guest Poet this time round is the brilliant Jasmine Sharif.

Jasmine is trained in theatre and dance, including Middle Eastern dance, which she is also developing as performance, magically weaving bellydance, music and spoken word together. This was showcased by New Writing South as part of Brighton Fringe.

She is a writer of performance poetry, short stories and drama, and her work has been published in a Creative Future anthology inspired by Brighton & Hove Museum and Art Gallery: “Museum Tales”.

Her poem, “Wave”, inspired by paintings of the sea exhibited at the Towner Gallery, has also been published online, and a selection of her poetry has been shown as part of an exhibition of South Asian women’s writing at the Jubilee Library and she was invited to read at the Feminist Bookshop in Brighton.

In 2024, she has been invited to feature as guest writer by Seahaven Poets, who have described her writing as “an intriguing hybrid of genres”.

She has also had a short story “The Sheikh’s Delights”, recently published in Covert Literary Magazine (online).

Jasmine’s critical writing has also been published in online music magazine “Jazz Views”. When not writing, she enjoys true crime podcasts and singing in jazz clubs.
