Northland writer Michael Botur is launching his first recorded poetry album in his hometown of Whangarei on March 31.
‘Loudmouth’ collects 15 years of what Botur calls ‘Page and pub poetry’ – poems tested on audiences in Dunedin, Christchurch, Auckland, Whangarei and Tauranga across a decade and a half.
Loudmouth becomes one of the only spoken word NZ poetry albums on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music, Bandcamp and other platforms.
Recorded with Steve Cox from Whangarei rap trio OBC,
Loudmouth is launched with a one hour poetry show at Whangarei Central Library, 6pm March 31.
The album is 35 tracks grouped into five sections – the political, the personal, historical, ‘slamsational’ and criminal.
