Just a quickie..

Hello there, happy high summer all. 

I'm looking forward to reading at the launch of Magma 62, which is on the theme of violence, at the London Review Bookshop on July 31st. It is free but you are advised to book tickets here -

The LRB shop looks like a wonderfully atmospheric place to read, amid shelves of books, with their distinctive smell and weight...and is sure to be a varied and interesting night with lots of different poetic voices.

One of my poems coming up in magma is a ballad inspired by these beautiful lines, and tone..

In other news, a unique project combining artists, botany, weeds and wildflowers is coming together and I am delighted to be involved in it. Looking forward to writing about it here very soon - watch this space.

Thanks for reading...
