Invited by Colin Lee Marshall to contribute to issue 2 of online PDF magazine Erotoplasty. I read Issue #1 first and it is just magnificent - great contributors seemingly all at the top of their game. The first long poem that starts it out by Richard Parker of Crater Press is a thing to envy - called A1 (as of the English trunk road), I read it as a road poem and love its sadnesses.
https://erotoplasty.tumblr.com/ Colin has obviously hoovered up a lot of poets with rigorously ludic intent; but what I got from the magazine overall was how muscular and evil-tongued some of the women are - Astra Papachristodoulou, Rosy Carrick, Yuna Lee Marshall, Florence Uniacke, Maria Sledmere and others are a savage lot.

7:30pm Old Paradise Yard' 20 Carlisle Lane, SE1 7LG London, United King www.facebook.com/events/1542201845891729/ Kindly invited to take a guest spot on SATURDAY 18 NOVEMBER at Writers Forum.

4-6pm Upstairs at The Barley Mow, 127 Curtain Rd, Shoreditch EC2A 3BX.  A preview of 'The Book of Naseeb' as a sound-performance with composer Mark Wagner was planned at this Barbican Library event (part of Saif Osmani's 'Dhikr' exhibition). Unfortunately Mark couldn't be there to work his sound magic, I was left holding the effects gizmos, and because there were elements that could go wrong...it did go wrong. It was basically a reading with the library PA and a lot of superfluous equipment doing next to nothing.
