My third time having a table at the SPF, after many years of visiting. I had an amazing team of friends helping me shift my 30 plus publications I had on display - Simon Tyrrell, Cameron Wade, Danica Ignacio, Eleanor Wilders, Sinnead Singson, Lisa Blackwell, Patrick Cosgrove, Jules Sprake, Bob Bright, David Spittle and more - and this was a massive part of my experience. I felt part of a community, and that extended to so many of the brilliant publishers poets artists who attended. It was two days of generative conversation, intensely so. Once again brilliantly curated by Helen Mitchell.

On day two I had a reading in the library, hosted by my friend Angie Butler, and I read from my two launched books at the fair. The paperback edition of the Parts of the Body that Stink from Hesterglock press and Frog Circles from Paper view books (whose editor Sal Nunchakov attended the fair from Portugal allowing me to meet him for the first time!)
