Anyone in the vicinity of Sheffield should try to get to the event below. I'm trying to re-schedule some stuff so I can get there, as it should be a memorable evening. There are so many people on that list I'd like to get to see, not least the legendary Bill Griffiths. Geraldine herself of course, is a real performance poet, and her readings are not to be missed. Her poetry in fact, is meant to be performed (often with props and costumes) and is harder to appreciate with just the printed page to go on.THE MONK COMPANIONS @ The Site Gallery, 1 Brown Street, Sheffield
22 September 6pm. Admission free.

I wish you could join me too John. In fact I wish I could go, 'cos I can't. Prior family committments...
Ah, well. Maybe there'll be more - the Sheffield group centred around G. Monk and Alan Halsey put on a great series of readings a couple of years back.
Hello Sam.
