Here's a nice well done from Carole Baldock at Orbis Poetry Quarterly, congratulating me for my entry in the Forward Prize Anthology 2009: http://kudoswriting.wordpress.com/

My reading at the Durham Book Festival seemed to go well, and I had the pleasure of reading with Peter Bennet, whose book The Glass Swarm I would highly recommend. I'm not sure what the Durham crowd made of The Fast Heat of Beauty's blatant sex themes, it may have been a bit racy for them, but never mind.....

Deciding what to read at the Small Press Book Fair this weekend and I think it will be a combination of my treatment of Sacheverell Sitwell's Lily Poems - Polly Sime, as I have been looking at book arts today in the creative writing class I teach in Guildford, and a reading from my final MA project. That should do it.
