Robert Garnham

In the Rothko room, Tate Modern

Subtlety in a permanent dusk.
Unanimous,
Feathering the definite,
These nine gloomy canvas wizards
So still in their dance.
They cathedral the psychic,
And whisper
Of nothingness.

Robert Garnham is a comedy spoken
word artist, originally from Surrey.
His whimsy- driven poems are off-beat, high energy and hilariously deadpan, looking at everything from badgers who want to be in soap operas, a love affair with a Muppet, to loading the dishwasher with a famous opera singer. He’s a multiple slam champion and twice long-listed as Spoken Word Artist of the Year. He recently
headlined at The Duplex Cabaret in New York and the King Kong Klub in Berlin, and has been featured on a TV advert for a Building Society.
