5th February, The Other, Stoke Newington ... with Nocturne for a Lighterman screening. Happy Days! Like I said, gliding in Lee Campbell's slip stream ... a burning beacon...

Sissy Doutsiou of the International Video Poetry Festival, Athens is organising an international poetry reading in London on 30 January at The Delhi Theatre. https://theatredelhi.co.uk There will be many international poets performing, so go along and check it out. Error/Eros, an experiment with the dual contrasting meaning of the cross as love or error will be featured behind the performers. It is a very very simple but paradoxical work which operates something like a koan. This is one of my early works and it is really special to see it out and about again. Thank you, Sissy!

Great to hear that Flight will be shown in O Bheal go Beal poetry night, tonight, the 12th of January in Cork. The theme is mental health for First Fortnight, and the poem is from the prologue to my recent publication Horse-Woman. Many thanks Colm and Paul ... it is a blessing to have your support and I know you will have a great evening :) As always, wish I could be there ...

Thank. you to Cinestesya for including Nocturne in your festival this year. A New Year's Eve screening – what a special event, and I wish I could be there ... have a great festival! :))

So very honoured to be included in this festival based in Sicily this month. I feel especially pleased since the film includes a really atmospheric soundscape by leading Belgian master of sound Marc Neys and one of my neo-symbolist poems. I wish I could have been there, but my husband had surgery ... For now I will have to just imagine the beauty of that island .... 

So very pleased that Nocturne for a Lighterman is in FOTOGENIA this year, thank you so much to Chris Patch and the team. I am thrilled that this family history ekphrastic poetry film is garnering such a good response, particularly with the evocative soundscape by Marc Neys The festival just gets better and better and I am sorry I cannot be there, as it is a beautifully organised event across the city. Nocturne is on Friday 28 in the Echoes of the Vanguard section, and I will be in discussion with other filmmakers at 2 pm Mexico time that day via Instagram. BTW We are 6 hours ahead with GMT.
