BYT: On The Radio/ Dead Poets

April 2010

We made it! 24 hours of poetry (I think I was ‘awake’ for about 40 hours in all, and no dead poets. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Thanks to all who came along! You can listen again to my interview on BBC Radio Wales (21 minutes and 52 seconds in). We were raising money for the Hay Poetry Jamboree.

I am shattered but shall write more soon. Until then you can catch me reading a story at Telling Tales in Cardiff on Sunday 2 May (2pm, Cardiff Arms Cafe, Westgate Street, FREE) and then I’ll be reading poems at Milgi, also in Cardiff, with the Big Fuss residency from 7pm that evening.

Enjoy the sunshine!

I’ve also been wondering if any of the guys are having the same reserves and rigmaroles as me. Probably not. I doubt they’ve bought new heels. I’m having to put away any spoilt child tendencies too. For my book launch(es) will involve sharing the spotlight with the three other titles and authors that make up the Parthian Bright Young Things series – Tyler Keevil, Wil Gritten, and JP Smythe. This has pros and cons. Pros include getting to have more launches (Cardiff, Swansea, Bangor and London) as we pool marketing budgets, cons include the party not being exactly as you, singular, would want it – glitter, cupcakes, my favourite band in my case – and the impossibilities of arranging so many dates where all ...
