Right-o. First off, a massive thank you to everyone that came down to our Semiotics event last week, and helped, and danced. We all had fabulous amounts of fun, even if the council did shut down our music like some kind of illegal squat rave. Sorry sorry Tall Ships, we love you.
Our friend Emma, who brought down some zines and collage with our friend Ventral took some nice pictures here.
Also thank you to Popshot, who helped us organise and brought down books to sell next to clinic making our table look like a beautiful little library. Buy some Popshots here! Buy some cheaper Popshots here!
READINGS!
DAYS OF ROSES AND FUSELIT TOMORROW
Tomorrow Days of Roses are hosting a reading to celebrate Fuselit's 5th birthday. Fueslit are so brill, they are, in their own words, 'a London-based journal of poetry, short prose, art and music that comes in a handy 'pocket-sized' format.' The reading is taking place at the Rugby Tavern, 19 Great James Street, which is quite near Russell Sqaure and Holburn. Editors Jon Stone and Kirsten Irving will read with Joe Dunthorne, John Osborne, Declan Ryan, Chris Horton, Shiona Tregaskis, David Floyd, Sam Peczek, Mike West and Sarah Hesketh and James Brookes.
OLD BORROWED BLUE 3RD SEPTEMBER
Then on Friday we'll be partaking in a poetry feast at the Betsey Trotwood. Fifteen poets, including us three clinic-ers, will read four poems each, three favourites by other poets (an old poem, a new poem and a poem with 'blue' connotations) and one of our own which has a borrowed element, made specially for the event. We're delighted to have been asked, especially with the prospect of reading alongside some of our favourite poets like Kayo Chingonyi, Oli Hazzard and Roddy Lumsden, and MORE! Come down and we'll all talk about our summers.
