My next reading is part of this fundraiser with and for my pals at the wonderful Plough Arts Centre, Great Torrington, Friday 14 June 2024, 8pm: Music for the Earth – A Benefit for Extinction Rebellion. Info on the Plough website.

I so enjoyed reading with Fountain Poets at the King’s Head, Wells, hosted by Ama Bolton on 6 May 2024. My favourite of all the readings I have given. I was touched to receive applause for poems about Extinction Rebellion and the Gaza emergency. Ama kindly asked me to complete the evening by reading my poem ‘Ancestral’. So nice to see local friends there from Frome, Glastonbury and Wells.

I only just caught up with a Ted Hughes Society podcast released on 25 January 2024. in which, thanks to an invitation to members from the Society’s excellent Mick Gowar, I read my poem ‘St Mark’s Flies’.
