I Heart Nasty Little Press

Hello. I had a lovely package of poetry joy in the post from Nasty Little Press today. I ordered all their books. Yes all of them. They are not expensive and they are great. I know John Osborne and Salena Godden, I've seen Byron perform quite a lot, I like Luke Wright's stuff and I've been wanting to see Molly Naylor live for ages. The other two I decided to risk. I'd like it if they published a poetry pamphlet of mine. This is a blog love letter of sorts to them. I'll write more if I have to.

These are the pamphlets/ books I bought. You should buy them too. Also sign up for their mailing list, they send you Ration Books of poems in PDF form. I got one today. It had an ace poem by Rising/ Donut Press superstar Tim Wells. He once published one of my poems. I really should send him some more.

MS: Naked Librarians & Laugharne Literati (Part 1)

A pile of books in the courtyard of Shelf Life This is a blog of two parts… Part One I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a most wonderful weekend. A lovely weekend. A Laugharne Weekend, and many laughs were to be had at Laugharne. Yet the fun began early, as my weekends frequently seem to these days, kicking off with the press night for Shelf Life at The Old Library in Swansea on Thursday, the second of twelve new productions being put on across Wales this year by the so-far-so-damn-good National Theatre of Wales . They continue to set the standard high. After nibbles and natters upstairs in the Old Police Station where an exhibition of wire works by Swansea artist Debbie Evans Quek graced the walls, we were ushered down to the sunny courtyard for the start of the evening’s innovative often-improvised acts. The site-specific promenade performance screams Volcano Theatre, who here combine their groundbreaking talents with the Welsh National Opera (WNO). This time their chosen

Gig Alert: Wild Words at The Wheatsheaf

Hello Lovelies, How are you all doing? Great, I hope! I am almost back to 100% and ready to kick off the tour again this Saturday 25 November by hosting Wild Words at The Wheatsheaf in Fitzrovia, London . This is the London launch for Better Houses , in my birth city, so I will also be reading, but before that I will be introducing some wonderful writers from Parthian Books and our friends. Here are the bits and bobs: Join us for an afternoon of poetry from Wales and the World at The Wheatsheaf. We will be featuring poets with links to London and Wales and poetry in translation published by Parthian Books and their friends. Poets performing include Eleni Cay (A Butterfly's Trembling in the Digital Age, Parthian, 2017 in translation from Slovakian), Christina Thatcher (More than you were, Parthian Books, 2017), Rebecca Parfitt (The Days After, Listen Softly London, 2017), and Tracey Rhys (Teaching a Bird to Sing, Green Bottle Press, 2016).

One Woman Show | Interview: Bryony Kimmings

" Bryony Kimmings is NOT an alcoholic." So begins the blurb on the Soho Theatre website for Kimming's current show 7 Day Drunk . No Bryony Kimmings is not an alcoholic, she is an artist, and her own website tells us that: 'She makes performance, dance, music, spoken word, and video. Her work is haphazard, loud, dangerous, unpredictable... and above all mega-fun!' Kimmings is one of a number of young artists creating work linked to Britain's (and their own) rocky relationship with booze. 7 Day Drunk is part social experiment and part personal history. Through anecdote, song, dance, film and fantastical costumes Kimmings examines whether alcohol does make us more creative, and if so at what cost.
