I’ve loved the London Review of Books' Letters page for years. The panoply of voices & opinions is highly addictive. Today I ticked something off my writer’s bucketlist by seeing my letter published in there.
French/Canadian/Welsh writer Peter Meilleur was a concrete poet whose innovations continue to influence me to this day & so I feel a genuine warmth at being able to pay homage to his memory. I hope Six of Clubs gets the reprint it deserves.

Nothing -- no stunning fireworks nor well-intended resolutions nor serious reflection -- makes me feel more like a new year is about to begin than the annual renewal of my subscription to the #LondonReviewOfBooks. I instantly get the feeling that there is a new year with an overwhelming amount of reading ahead. And that's all I want, honestly. #lrb

What's inside you? All gnarled up inside us are people, animals and places. We peer into a bog cauldron and witness a giant, and within him a young girl, and within her a hare, and within him a salmon. Through this scrying we locate secret histories. In stagcult, mythologist Martin Shaw invites us to adventure with him as he explores, and discovers, the nature of becoming whole.
One of our books published this autumn & launched at #LondonReviewOfBooks bookshop
