After a hectic literature festival season, I’m excited to have a flurry of performances and readings coming up. My last was at Headingley Library on 8th October as part of the Headingley Festival of Ideas – a lovely event that gave a good taster of each poet’s work. It was wonderful to be performing with Helen Mort again and alongside former students Howard Benn and Linda Marshall. It was also great to see a few of you blog readers there.
