by Kristiana Rae Colón (Author)

Some poems are better written in flesh . . .

After Wall Street and Tahrir Square, after ISIS and the NSA, after Ferguson and Eric Garner: here come the poets.

In a downtown poetry slam with a place on the team to be won, eight young poets prepare to do battle. But backstage it's all kicking off with love triangles, families to feed and wounds to rip open. And in the end, is it about winning - or finding the words that need to be said?

Octagon received its world premiere at the Arcola Theatre, London, on 16 September 2015.
