South London poet <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jamesmassiah.com\/\">James Massiah<\/a> is one of those people. As if being a poet wasn\u2019t enough, Massiah is a polymath \u00a0\u2014 he\u2019s also a musician, a producer, a DJ, and a modern-day philosopher. He has worked with the BBC and the Guardian, read poetry at an impressive roster of places, including the ICA, Tate Modern, and the Houses of Parliament, and in November was commissioned to write a poem for Prince Charles\u2019 70th birthday. On top of all that, he recently performed at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.platformpresents.com\/\">Poetry Gala 2019<\/a> in aid of Platform Presents Playwright&#8217;s Prize and has just launched his latest project \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BtYFMRIgFFS\/\">Optimism 101<\/a>, where his poems will be available to watch, read and listen to on an 11-track mixtape. This weekend he will present\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.serpentinegalleries.org\/exhibitions-events\/all-my-youngers\">an evening of readings<\/a>, entitled <em>All My Youngers<\/em>, at Grace Wales Bonner&#8217;s\u00a0 exhibition at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serpentinegalleries.org\/exhibitions-events\/grace-wales-bonner-time-new-dreams\"><em>A Time for New Dreams<\/em><\/a> at London&#8217;s Serpentine Gallery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">James\u2019 poetry combines music and words to paint a picture about what it means to be young in a city as unforgivable as London. While the sort of poetry we learn in school talks about about stale, indeterminate themes that young people can\u2019t really relate to, Massiah\u2019s poetry dissects sex, ethics and hedonism in a full-hearted attempt to re-delegate poetry\u2019s relevance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPoetry isn\u2019t dead, poetry cannot die,\u201d Massiah tells SLEEK. \u201cBefore you had a microphone, or a digital workstation to make music, someone was standing up in a auditorium reading those words, and before the internet you had someone who had publishing power and handling press so the question was how do we transfer this idea? And poetry is the medium\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":73812,"id":73812,"title":"PS005288-R1-29-30","filename":"PS005288-R1-29-30.jpg","filesize":2100187,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PS005288-R1-29-30.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/james-massiah\/ps005288-r1-29-30\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"ps005288-r1-29-30","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":73798,"date":"2019-02-04 12:34:58","modified":"2019-02-04 12:34:58","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1757,"height":1188,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PS005288-R1-29-30.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":87,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PS005288-R1-29-30.jpg","medium-width":1757,"medium-height":1188,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PS005288-R1-29-30.jpg","medium_large-width":1757,"medium_large-height":1188,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PS005288-R1-29-30.jpg","large-width":1757,"large-height":1188,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PS005288-R1-29-30.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1039,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PS005288-R1-29-30.jpg","2048x2048-width":1757,"2048x2048-height":1188,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PS005288-R1-29-30.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":18,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PS005288-R1-29-30.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1757,"wpvr_mobile-height":1188}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"10","caption":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Massiah challenges the elitist way that we understand poetry and the themes most commonly associated with it, such as love, nature and the afterlife, as well as questioning our assumptions about who can practice poetry and why. \u201cFor a lot of people, poetry is not coming from a kid from the estate who writes about a time that they went to school and s\/he got his bag robbed, for a certain demographic a poem is how many verses a poem may have.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And while poetry is often read in auditoriums, Massiah\u2019s, A&amp;E nights \u2014\u00a0where he invites other poets to events with music as well as poetry \u2014 have become a weekly occurrence, often performed in pubs, cultural institutions and warehouses.

It may seem less and less so as technology moves further into the future, the fact that someone you used to speak to or hang out with is no longer in your life but they haven\u2019t necessarily died. A friend you\u2019ve stop talking with, an ex who dumped you, you can see them and follow them on social media and you have a personal connection with them, so in a way this might ease the anxieties about death.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":73813,"id":73813,"title":"PS005288-R1-28-29","filename":"PS005288-R1-28-29.jpg","filesize":2356354,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PS005288-R1-28-29.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/james-massiah\/ps005288-r1-28-29\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"ps005288-r1-28-29","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":73798,"date":"2019-02-04 12:38:36","modified":"2019-02-04 12:38:36","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1834,"height":1240,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PS005288-R1-28-29.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":87,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PS005288-R1-28-29.jpg","medium-width":1834,"medium-height":1240,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PS005288-R1-28-29.jpg","medium_large-width":1834,"medium_large-height":1240,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PS005288-R1-28-29.jpg","large-width":1834,"large-height":1240,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PS005288-R1-28-29.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1039,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PS005288-R1-28-29.jpg","2048x2048-width":1834,"2048x2048-height":1240,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PS005288-R1-28-29.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":18,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PS005288-R1-28-29.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1834,"wpvr_mobile-height":1240}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"10","caption":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AMY\/YMA also explores London\u2019s relation to gang and knife crime.

Our attention is often interrupted with different stimulations and that\u2019s why poetry is the best medium to communicate with people now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>James Massiah will present <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serpentinegalleries.org\/exhibitions-events\/all-my-youngers\">All My Youngers<\/a> on Friday 8 February at London&#8217;s Serpentine Gallery.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>All images by Paolina Stadler.<\/p>\n"}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>South London&#039;s James Massiah is spearheading the new wave of poetry South London&#039;s James Massiah is spearheading the new wave of poetry<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/james-massiah\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"South London&#039;s James Massiah is spearheading the new wave of poetry South London&#039;s James Massiah is spearheading the new wave of poetry\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/james-massiah\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-02-04T12:52:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-05-25T16:48:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Nassia Matsa\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
