If last week saw me doing a whistle-stop tour of Chichester, London and Aldeburgh, this week has seen me back in Extremadura, racing to keep up with orders of wine and olive oil for Christmas.
Only now can I pause for breath and start looking back on an terrific reading in London, followed by a packed event at Poetry in Aldeburgh. I was going to mention the brilliant people I met in the course of my travels, but such a list would run to a huge paragraph. Suffice to say, it was the best week of my life in poetry.
However, perhaps the best news of all is that the inaugural Rogue Strands reading generated 324 pounds for the Trussell Trust in aid of food banks. That's down to my co-organiser, Mat Riches, whose idea it was to raise those funds!
My thanks to artist, writer and publisher Jeremy Dixon for sharing the open
callout from WBN2024 and WBN United Artists for a postcard exhibition
organised...
Congratulations! I wish I could have made it to the Rogue Strands reading, but maybe next time! (I hope there is a next time)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Clarissa. We're delighted with how this first event worked out and it's now just a case of finding a suitable date for the next one. Here's hoping we'll finally manage to meet in person!
