In March I was invited to perform at the Shuffle, but when the organisers, audience and performers turned up, the poetry cafe was mysteriously closed. So instead I’m performing there tonight. Expect poems on the big bang, tree climbing, cupboards and coins… 7.30pm on Saturday 29 May at The Poetry Cafe, 22 Betterton Street, Covent [...]

It’s always lovely to be asked back to an event.

One of my poems appears in the new edition of Magma. I’ll be reading at the magazine launch on Monday 8 March at The Troubadour in Old Brompton Road. The theme for this issue is ‘Hunger’.

On Sunday 14 March, I’ll be performing at Jazz Verse Jukebox, Jumoké Fashola‘s poetry and jazz night at none other than Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club. Jumoké is an award winning broadcaster and singer, and a [...]

This autumn I was hugely privileged to be given a sponsored place on Pascale Petit’s Poetry from Art course at Tate Modern, courtesy of the wonderful London literature organisation Spread the Word.
