This month Howl welcomes a special guest performer - multi-slam winning, multicultural, multifaceted spoken word artist CHLOË JACQUET.
The Gloucestershire-based performer was 2017 Oxford Hammer & Tongue slam champion and reached the semi-finals of the National Slam Finals at the Royal Albert Hall in both 2018 and 2019.
With a preference for straight talking and a penchant for rhymes and opinions, Chloë’s poetry is both entertaining and meaningful. Her work deals with a wide variety of subjects, ranging from workplace discrimination and mental health, to the pressures placed on modern men, via her short term relationship with a biscuit.
Chloë thinks name dropping is really uncool. As well as her own headline slots at poetry nights and festivals across England, she has supported artists such as Elvis McGonagall, Joelle Taylor and Hollie McNish and her work has featured several times on the BBC. She has been published in several magazines and anthologies and her poem “First Festival Back” was selected by the BBC to be included in a special archive at The British Library of Covid-related materials “for the benefit of the nation”. Her first collection Take It By The Line is published by Black Eyes Publishing UK and is available now. CHLOË JACQUET website
