Step into the electrifying world of the spoken word with Take a Chance, a vibrant anthology of performance poetry compiled by Rory Harris, brought to vivid life through the striking illustrations of Mark Rudnleigh. The collection presents a bold chorus of voices that leap off the page, capturing the raw energy, wit, and rhythm that define the performance poetry tradition — a genre born to be heard as much as read. Each poem in this anthology dares its reader to engage, provoke thought, and feel the pulse of language at its most immediate and powerful. Harris has curated a work that stands as both a celebration and a manifesto of performance poetry as a legitimate and vital art form, while Rudnleigh's illustrations — most memorably the arresting image of a lone figure facing a surge of crocodiles — reinforce the anthology's central dare: to confront the unexpected with courage and creativity. The result is a collection that instructs as much as it entertains, making it an invaluable resource for educators, performers, and poetry enthusiasts alike. Will you take the chance?
