The Writers’ Centre Kingston program this year has been really so excellent. I made some curatorial changes, to bring the emphasis from visiting speakers to shorter readings with more locally based writers, and push the themes. It’s worked. Every event has been full and with a palpable sense of innovation, range and community. This was a remarkable one in the Museum of Futures, with 10 of us responding to the concept of the Memento Mori. All the videos are here.

My own piece was a slight repeat, from a performance I did once also for Kingston folk. I listed three times, from the top of my head, where I thought I had nearly died. I said to everyone at the end, they were all lies. In fact, that was the lie, said on the hoof because I wanted to sound cool. They are all true, I think.
