Radio feature on 938LIVE, Singapore

I’m featured today on 938LIVE Radio today, talking about performance poetry, the Singapore Writers’ Festival Schools Week and reading a poem. It’s a short interview with Felicia Nah on ‘They’re Making A Difference’, a programme about people in Singapore who are, well, making one. I hope I sometimes fit into that category. If you’re in [...]
Writing the City

Over the past few months, I’ve been part of a team at the British Council Singapore, scheming, building, writing, testing, re-testing and clocking up screen-time to create Writing the City, an online community for new, emerging and established writers from Singapore and beyond. It’s an exciting project for me. Writing Communities are very important to [...]
Open Notebooks Revisited

For the past year, poet Karen McCarthy Woolf and I have shared a ‘creative correspondence’, writing letters to each other which inspire and feed into our writing processes. Our letters have flown between different locations, crossing London, Europe and now Asia. Later this year they’ll be flying to Egypt, where Karen has a residency coming up. [...]

Back in August, I stepped on a plane to Singapore. I had no idea what I’d find or whether it was the right thing to do. I’ve been here three months now and the idea that I might never have come is almost unimaginable. I’ve discovered so much – poets, artists, friends, jazz, festivals, schools, [...]

It’s been a while. I’m still here, I’ve just moved continents. August brought me to Singapore, where I hope to be based for the next year or so, continuing my writing, teaching and poetry projects. Long overdue updates to follow on that soon. This week I’m at Ubud Writers & Readers Festival in Bali, where [...]

This week I’ve been a guest blogger for the London Literature Festival at the Southbank Centre. I’ve collated a poem by the audience at an experimental Brazilian music gig, heard three Emirati poets read in London for the first time and seen Barbara Kingsolver discuss her new and brilliant novel The Lacuna. Read about all [...]

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 [...]

Since December, I’ve been working with artist Anna Sexton on a collaborative art-poetry project, put together by Accident & Emergence. We’ve collected lost items in the streets of London and Geneva, trawled the charity shops of Lewisham, eaten macaroons and greasy spoon dinners, written, photographed, blogged and created… From 1st – 11th May 2010 our work will be [...]

It’s always lovely to be asked back to an event. This time last year I performed a short set at The Shuffle, an acclaimed night at the Poetry Cafe, run by one of my favourite poets, Jacqueline Saphra and others. This Saturday I’m one of their featured poets, along with John Citizen and Rachel Smith. [...]
