Clueless Dogs Tour

Last night I read at the launch of Rhian Edward's first full poetry collection Clueless Dogs. She is a super darling friend and I am most proud. Here is a picture of me reading taken by Auntie Lynne:



Today I am mostly reading my copy of the book - it has my name in the front AND the back. You can and should get your hands on a copy here: http://www.serenbooks.com/book/clueless-dogs/9781854115737

Here is a picture of the congrats card I made Rhian, with Rhian and her beloved American beau Blake Harwell:
 
Yep, I know, multi-talented, me.
I am supporting Rhian at a joining up of my two favourite Swansea nights - The Crunch and Skye - on Sunday. Sadly STUPID LAST TRAIN TIMES mean that I can't get to these nights now I have left Swansea, some  may say this is fair punishment for leaving, but I'm looking forward to seeing some familiar faces there. Here is the beautiful poster for the event:
 
After that Rhian has lots of other gigs, some of which I shall be performing at, or hosting. You can see the full list on Rhian's brand spanking new website including a Hay event with the excellent Tishani Doshi. My dates are 6 & 20 May. I shall be at most of them though, so may read elsewhere too if there is room.
We will both be performing new work at the WMC for Cardiff Flash Fiction Day on 16 May and  poeting at Dinefwr festival at the end of June also. It will be the week of both of our births, and you can buy us presents if you like. Or buy our books. Either will be fine.
Enjoy the long weekend x
