Three readings in the next few days...

Right, so a heads-up in case you can make any of the three readings I've got coming up in the next few days...

...the first one is at Faversham Literary Festival on Saturday, though the issue is that their website currently says my event has sold out (see here). Then I'll be the guest poet for the South Downs Poetry Festival in Chichester on Wednesday (see here), followed by a reading in Cowden Pound on Thursday, as per the following poster. It would be great to see you at any of these events. And if you make it along, please do come up and introduce yourself...!

A poem in Poetry & All That Jazz

I'm pleased to report that I have a poem in Poetry & All That Jazz for the second year running. Poetry & All That Jazz is an annual magazine that's edited by Barry Smith and published in association with the Festival of Chichester and the South Downs Poetry Festival. I'll be in terrific company once again, as this year's issue also includes work by the likes of Louis de Bernières, Matthew Sweeney and Frieda Hughes.

There's a launch reading scheduled for 9th June, starting at 4.30 p.m, at the John Harvey Tavern in Lewes, offering a blend of poetry and jazz. I won't be able to get there myself, but it's sure to be an excellent event for anyone who can make it along.
