Proofs for The Alexandra Sequence

I've had the proofs for The Alexandra Sequence now. Carcanet have done a good job on it. I also got my preferred cover image. It seems that the book will be coming out in September.

Portico Library Reading

Looking forward to reading on June 25th at the Portico Library in Manchester with Bath Spa Professor, Tim Liardet.

The Alexandra Sequence

It looks like the publication date for my next book of poems, The Alexandra Sequence, is July 2016.

I'm on the Carcanet blog talking about mumming and poetry. It's in relation to my next of poems, The Alexandra Sequence, which is due out in July 2016.

Some more reviews

A few more reviews of Poetry and Privacy have emerged. There is one in The Guardian by David Wheatley and another on the Tower Poetry website by Claire Crowther.

First review of Poetry and Privacy

Poetry and Privacy has been reviewed by David Kennedy at Stride magazine - this is the first review of the book (at least to my knowledge!)

Video of a poem being read

The people at Literature Northwest have just put together a suite of writer-performance videos. I'm seen in one reading my poem, 'Grand Theft America'  (from MUDe) and talking briefly about my work.
