'ON THE ROAD' - POETRY READINGS, CREATIVE WRITING WORKSHOPS, TALKS AND BOOK LAUNCH

Whether it's a poetry reading, creative writing workshop or talk, join me along the way between Cumbria and New York - September 2013 - 2014, where I'll be reading with poet friends, old and new!

FROM BOLTON TO BRANTWOOD, SWARTHMOOR HALL TO HOADFEST AND A MEDIEVAL FAIR AT FURNESS ABBEY
Summer 2013 was a brilliant time of workshops and readings with friends in the UK and special guest poet from New York, George Wallace. 2014 looks like it's also going to be a bumper year for readings, workshops and talks, so come and join me! You can read about the 2013 gigs here:
