Next week (Tuesday 14th October) I will be reading from my new book “Jofrid Gunn” at a special event in London. It is at the Swedenborg Hall in Bloomsbury as part of the Shearsman Reading Series, which showcases newly-published Shearsman titles, as well as established poets. The event starts at 7.30pm, and there will be three people reading: myself, Josephine Balmer, and special guest Yang Lian. Swedenborg Hall is at 20/21 Bloomsbury Way, London WC1A 2TH – near the British Museum. The event will be hosted by Tony Frazer, publisher of Shearsman Books, and admission is free.
