German // Poet // taking over LDN
We are still reeling from the news that our beloved SWL regular Dean Mckee has died of COVID 19 at only 28 years old. Dean was a big part of our community at Spoken Word London and attended the night regularly since 2014. Not only was he a brilliant poet, whose pieces held the room with the power of his conviction and made us laugh with his wordplay and sense of humour, but he was a supportive friend to many. London has lost a talented young man and our thoughts are with Dean’s family and all who knew him. Here is a video of him performing at one of our events back in 2014:
