On a Baltic (conditions I enjoy) afternoon, I was delighted to contribute to the Runnymede International Poetry festival, curated by Robert Hampson, a remarkable poet himself, at the http://www.creativecollaboration.org.uk, a space I really like. It was a vanilla reading alongside Adrian Clarke, who was instrumental in my early development as a poet, and Simon Smith. The festival had a wonderful 4 day programme, more information here http://www.rhul.ac.uk/iquad/news/articles/runnymedeliterary.aspx and it was lovely to be a brief part of the whole.
