In a previous Apples and Snakes’s blogs, Keith Jarrett wrote “I got into performance poetry by accident – and it’s probably the best accident I’ve had”. Since then, he produced his collection ‘Selah’ and poetry pamphlet’ I Speak Home’. His writing regularly explores race, faith, sexuality and belonging. With sharp wit and intelligence, Jarrett is a magnetic performer, and equal parts preacher and poet. Jarrett performs ‘El Pueblo’ and chooses Kareem Parkins-Brown’s ‘Did you Pack Your own bags’ for discussion. This piece draws from the Cambridge Analytica scandal, asking the audience to consider how much of us is truly private when our data, memories, and “selves” are stored, mined, and easily manipulated
