What a performance

Last Friday (yes, Friday the 13th - heh), I was back on stage after something of a hiatus, performing the brand-new piece I had the pleasure of being invited to create for the European Camarade in collaboration with David Gaffney. We were asked by poet SJ Fowler to contribute to the Manchester leg of the first-ever European Poetry Festival, and it was a blast. Find out more about the event, at the International Anthony Burgess Foundation, in my piece for Creative Tourist here. Click through to the "Live" tab here on Words & Fixtures to see the film of me and David performing our composite flash fiction piece. And check out the rest of the videos here, on the European Poetry Festival website.

Check out this dynamic cover art for the Dostoyevsky Wannabe Cities anthologies, the Manchester version of which is out later this year, edited by Dodo Ink Editorial Director and Minor Literature[s] Senior Editor Thom Cuell, and which I've been asked to contribute to! Lovely, isn't it?
