A note on : A reading and why I write for Sun Seekers

Ana Seferovic has started an excellent new youtube and instagram channel called sun seekers, where she asks poets to respond to the question why they write and provide a short reading too. Below you can find my instalments in the series, reading a poem from my upcoming book Come and See the Songs of Strange Days and answering the question with a question, maybe, or with some scepticism perhaps. Ana is a brilliant poet too, do look up her work, and she’ll hopefully be part of this year’s European Poetry Festival.

So delighted to be reading & talking at the beautiful Kettle's Yard, alongside Sarah Victoria Turner and Lynda Nead, about the Wrestlers, the relief by Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, that has been a real inspiration for me since I wrote about it a few years ago. May 13th in Cambridge.
