We’re in London to start a UK reading tour tomorrow at Birbeck College. Went to see the excellent prehistoric show at the British Museum this morning — more on that in a later post. I posted the details on tomorrow’s reading a few days back, but here, the complete program for the next 2 weeks. Should you be anywhere near one of the venues, do come in!

It is presented by Contempo, the Centre for Contemporary Poetry, which is run jointly by Aberystwyth and Bangor Universities.
