Poetry reading for launch of lovelove magazine second issue: Prince George, Camden, London 29 Feb 2020

It was a pleasure to take part and perform some poems at the launch of the second issue of Lisa Marie Jarlborn's lovelove magazine. Held on the same street in London where Rimbaud and Verlaine conducted their affair many moons ago, at the Prince George. It was lovely to perform and get to meet some of the other creatives that contributed to the magazine.

I’m thrilled to be featured in this issue alongside hero’s of mine like Gerard Malanga and Anne Waldman both of whom are interviewed in depth by Lisa Marie Jarlborn.

Poetry reading and conversation/Q&A for Catalyst at Libreria, London 11 Feb 2020

It was wonderful to perform at Libreria Bookshop, for the first time, for our sold-out event.

I gave a poetry reading, and afterwards, Danuta Keane opened up the conversation where Jimmy and I were able to talk further about the creation of our spoken word album Catalyst. We also took questions from the audience.

Thank you Libreria for hosting a great night, it was a joy sharing Catalyst with you all.

Poetry reading, playback and Q and A on Catalyst at MoPoP Museum, Seattle, USA 04 Dec 2019

It was a pleasure to revisit MoPoP Museum whilst in Seattle. We returned to meet with the incredible young people that make up MoPoP'S youth advisory board. I gave a poetry reading, then we played Catalyst on vinyl, after which Jimmy and I discussed its creation, the process in the studio, etc.

We had answered questions from the young people from the museum's program. Like last year I was so impressed with their perspectives and questions. The youth at MoPoP really are the great artist of tomorrow. We overrun on time so only some of the YAB are pictured here. Thank you for having us it was a delight to share Catalyst with you, and a special thank you to Josh, and Amy, and curators Jasen Emmons and Jacob McMurray, the wonderful team at MoPoP and of course the late, great Paul Allen was on our minds, the founder of the museum and co founder of Microsoft, a man who changed the world and was so humble.

Poetry reading at City Lights, San Francisco, USA 01 Dec 2019

It was so sweet to return to San Francisco, to read at the iconic City Lights. San Francisco is a sprawling, vibrant, multicultural city, rich in history. It's synonymous with the Beat poets whom I love and have been so inspired by. I read a selection of poems from all four of my books, some of which of course are featured on Catalyst. After the reading it was a pleasure to discuss Catalyst more in depth and meet attendees of the reading, some of whom had brought their vinyl copies of Catalyst with them. I felt so embraced by San Francisco, and I can't wait to return.

Poetry reading at The Troubadour, London 18 Nov 2019

It's always an honour to be invited by Anne-Marie Fyfe to read at her Coffee House Poetry night at The Troubadour, and it was so lovely to hear all the other incredible poems from such a range of accomplished writers. The theme of the evening, was "Things Left Unsaid" so i read my poem "Scorpio" from my collection Zoreh, which is about things that fester in the space of silence.
