Chrissy Williams and I were guests last Thursday at Pighog Poetry’s monthly reading at the Redroaster Coffee House in Brighton. It was, I thought, a splendid evening, with no fewer that sixteen poets, under the watchful eye of organiser, Michaela Ridgeway, reading from the floor. The place was full, virtually standing room only, and Chrissy and I were both made to feel welcome and listened to with attentive enthusiasm. [You can feel it!] I closed my set with a new poem, Curve, written after going down to an exhibition of Bridget Riley’s paintings at Bexhill last year, and it was this that drew the most positive comments afterwards.
The poem has just been included in the Spring issue of London Grip’s online poetry magazine (which also includes work by Norbert Hirschhorn and Rob Etty amongst others) and you can link to it here http://londongrip.co.uk/2016/02/london-grip-new-poetry-spring-2016/
