Hello my lovelies, I'm excited about the next date on my book tour, reading with two other wonderful women (Maria Donovan and Rebecca Parfitt) at First Thursday in Cardiff this... Thursday! Thanks so much to Amy Wack for inviting me along. If you haven't picked up a copy of Better Houses yet, I'll have some with me on the night. There's an open mic as well! See you there, or somewhere!
We had a wonderful trip to London to see the magical unmatchable talent that is Sierra Ferrell in Kentish Town and I also ran off for a sneak peak at Nina Hamnett's wonderful new green room at Tate Britain, getting there early (as the doors opened), I had the room and Nina all to myself. I've long had a fascination with Nina, and my poetry on her has been published in Poetry Wales and been read at events with Celine's Soho Salon at Tenby Museum and Art Gallery. I also featured her in a tour organised with Literature Wales in London many years ago now... and I am currently working on a longer project featuring Nina, her art and her life. The sea, the sea, the sea Is such a salty, magic place If you find yourself goin' under You'll remember the taste The waves, the waves, the waves How they're puttin' out my flame Woah, that's okay, I should be more tame
