A note on: opening The Night-Time Economy exhibition in Newport, Wales
A wonderful night to open my new exhibition in collaboration with photographer Kate Mercer, we had a lovely crowd come out to the Riverfront Theatre and Arts Centre in Newport to see readings and discussions. More on the exhibition www.theenemiesproject.com/nighttimeeconomy
Kate has done an incredible job in producing such a beautiful exhibition, the production was really extraordinary, with my poems beautifully framed alongside her wonderful photographs. Good to meet so many friendly local artists and well wishers who came out to support our project, and we managed to fit in three readings as well as a Q&A. A great beginning, the exhibition runs until the end of April and then comes to London, at Rich Mix, in July.

Great to have another collaboration in the brilliant Poetry Wales, being masterfully guided by Nia Davies at the helm. This time poems from my exhibited collaboration with Newport based photographer Kate Mercer feature, with my poems aligned with her pictures. These poems appear in the magazine in unique versions that won't appear elsewhere, deliberately rendered for the publication.
A great issue too, Volume 51 Number 3 for Spring 2016, full of fine poets. You can buy it here http://www.poetrywales.co.uk/currentissue/
