A fitting way to end a triptych of brilliant events at the National Gallery Lates in 2023, flanked by fellow poet-artists Andrew Kötting, Safia Kamel, Marcia Knight Latter, led by art historian and author Fiona Alderton, and given the chance by curator Joseph Kendra. https://www.stevenjfowler.com/nationalgallery/

Again I felt curiously relaxed, almost transforming into some sort of pink liquid, reading my poems, wafting about and interacting with everyone who attended. Fiona remarked, kindly, and lucidly, that these events have been notable for their joyousness. The audience and poets alike were happy to be there, for it was a bit special, in that place, at that time, together, moving room to room.

I’m very grateful to everyone who has supported these events, they have been so positive, and fun, to Joseph Kendra for making them happen.
