Kit Poems From The Rough Cut Collective

Palimpsest.
Obsessed with what’s under the surface.
1170 tannery.
Peel back skin.
Sinews.
Seen things
What’ve you seen?
(FROM MEMORY BY HENRY MADD)

The Marlowe Kit hosts the Rough Cut Collective, a community of poets who meet to share their work in poetry slams called LicKitySpit.

As part of our consultation with young people and the community, members of Rough Cut Collective were commissioned to write poems inspired by the Marlowe Kit, its heritage and the many stories that it holds.

The Marlowe Theatre is grateful to the Architectural Heritage Fund for supporting this project.
