Just in case tonight is THE night that you are planning all of the poetry and music events you are going to get to before the end of this beautiful, turmoiled year – here are the ones I’ll be reading poems at so far. If you are broke – the one in Bradford in July is Pay What You Can and Hillingdon Libraries is only £5.
I’ve also done a code. Fucking exciting ey. Mainly because people have come to gigs expecting a 30 minute reading on parenthood book and had me reading other poems for less time and been annoyed. I don’t want that burden! Or midwives surrounding me again in Leeds! So…the one’s with NTM at the end are the ones officially on the book tour, where I’ll be reading from the book at least 30mins (normally about 45mins) and where you can get a copy signed / say hello afterwards.
The other gigs not on the tour, I’ll be reading from that book but probably others too about other things.
If tonight is not the night you’re planning all of this years poetry outing, well, maybe it could be. x
