PERFORMANCE
Since launching at the Stoke Newington Literary Festival Jan Noble has taken his poetic monologue ‘My Name Is Swan’ along the far reaches of the Thames from Wapping to Oxford reading in every ‘swan’ pub along the way. Developed as a dynamic, twenty minute piece of stand up theatre, ‘My Name Is Swan’ has been performed at the Riverside Studios, Hammersmith, The Bowery Poetry Club, New York and at the Turner Contemporary, Margate.

MEET ME AT THE SWAN, a series of walks between Swan pubs to acknowledge the publication of My Name Is Swan, is a nod to Keats, ‘the vulgar cockney’ born above a pub, The Swan and Hoop, an old coaching house, a meeting place, a third space where journeys end and where poetry begins…
