Readers from English: Sean Bonney, Ruth Fainlight, Harry Gilonis, Frances Kruk, Stephen Mooney, James O’Hern, William Rowe

Xing the Line - October 13th
William IV, 7 Shepherdess Walk, Shoreditch, London N1 7QE. Wednesday October 13, 7.30. Nearest tube Old Street.
Take exit 1 out of Old Street station and walk up City Road, turning right into Shepherdess Walk at The Eagle. The William IV is a couple of minutes up the road, on the left.
Laurie Duggan, Susana Gardner, Simon Smith.
Laurie Duggan's The Epigrams of Martial is a new and revised edition of the book published by Scripsi in 1989. Peter Craven describes Duggan's MARTIAL as "sensuous, streamlined, and thoroughly unsavoury" and Hugh Kenner called the translations "remarkable." Poet August Kleinzahler contributed an Afterword to this edition.
Susana Gardner’s [lapsed insel weary]: "As the title suggests this is a sequence of articulations on the enduring themes of loss, separation, and messy love: love is always messy. But Gardner does not indulge in the easy clichés of introspection or confession: here she conjures up an hypnotic, somnambulistic symphony of exquisite desolation. 'No man is an island' wrote John Donne but Gardner knows that is only a half truth, especially if you are a woman. Against a backdrop of the sea the breaking waters of waves and birth crash through these pages with a contradictory melancholic joy. Her island is inescapable but it has a bird and it is shot through with the vitality of colour and the colour of tenacious life. Disturbingly beautiful." --Geraldine Monk
London Bridge, Simon Smith’s fourth collection of poetry, is an accessible, funny and immediate book of poems about life in the City amidst the contingent camera-shake and confusions of the everyday. The book concentrates on the experience of living in London – a book which is accessible, contemporary and sassy.
That’s right – sassy.

20th May - Voiceworks
The culmination of the Voiceworks 2010 programme will be live streamed from Wigmore Hall on Thursday 20 May at 18.00.
The performance lasts 45 minutes and is free to attend – do come, listen and support. This is the fourth year of this unique collaboration between poets from the Contemporary Poetics Research Centre at Birkbeck, and composers, singers and instrumentalists from Guildhall School of Music & Drama. New works for voice are created from a long process of exchange, improvisation and practice between October-May, and the resulting songs are a sign of the vibrancy and creative potential of a new generation of work. Many previous participants have gone on to collaborate on projects in Britain and internationally, or have developed their practice in new directions because of their Voiceworks experience, and it’s a chance to encounter their work first, here.
Voiceworks 2010 participants are:
Francisco Coll Garcia, Albert Pellicer, Iria Perestrelo
Antonia Barnett-McIntosh, Emma Bennett, Adam Crockatt
David Moore, Ben Gwalchmai, Luke Tracey
Raymond Yiu, Kim Patrick, Luis Gomes, Clément Dionet
Patrick Brennan, James Wilkes, Robert Elibay-Hartog
Nick Scott, Frances Kruk, Lucy Hall
Matthew Mendez, Holly Pester, Victor Sicard
The performances are free to attend, but tickets need to be booked in advance (this is very simple to do, and costs nothing).
See: http://www.wigmore-hall.org.uk/whats-on/productions/voiceworks-25340 for more information.
The first live streaming of Voiceworks 2010, courtesy of the AHRC and Plushmusic, can be accessed at our new voiceworks.org.uk site which will launch on the same day. It will be later be available by podcast. This digital project, led from CPRC with Guildhall colleagues and partners Wigmore Learning is funded by the AHRC. It is allowing us to: archive materials and make new work available from the last four years of the project; document the ongoing collaborative process as it thinks through the practice and languages of diverse and complex traditions of voice, music composition, and text; record new work as it happens; create a major resource in the field for free access; and generate new kinds of practice, exchange and debate which might find a home on the site.
Contact Carol Watts on c.watts@bbk.ac.uk for more information.

Romanian Poets Reading: Elena Vladareanu, Ruxandra Novac and Adrian Urmanov
3am magazine presents contemporary Romanian poetry - Elena Vladareanu, Ruxandra Novac and Adrian Urmanov.
The Rich Mix arts centre, London (Shoreditch / Brick Lane), Saturday May 29th, 7pm, entrance free
www.richmix.org.uk
www.richmix.org.uk
For the first of the Maintenant interview series readings 3am magazine presents three of the most exciting and acerbic contemporary poets emerging from Romania since the millenium. Challenging, caustic and resolute, their poetry retains the dark humour so prevalent under dictatorship with the utterly modern vernacular of a generation that has come to fruition post-1989. Attacks on misogyny, sexual repression, political idealism and linguistic correctness are interspersed with exactingly crafted free poetry, literary and resounding, distinct for it’s energy and image, and despite a textual tendency to the climactic, this reading will remain very much literary in style. Performing as part of a national tour, this is a chance to see the brightest young talent from a distinct and vivid European poetical tradition.
Interviews with each poet are available here at 3am, Cadaverine and Pomegranate magazines respectively.

Sussex Poetry Festival - 16th April
POETRY FESTIVAL, which the zodiacs on aggregate foretell will descend on the campus of the University of Sussex on Friday 16th April at 1pm (everyone welcome, unlimited capacity), then be spirited to the Nightingale Theatre in Brighton (all events sold out, unfortunately) for two days and nights of (upstairs) temptation and (downstairs) its entelechies, with readings, performances, music, sacrifice, genuflection, total immersion metabaptism, &c. No petting. All the readings will be written up above by our two resident goatperson initiates and posted in the virtual beyond, together with graven images, animated idols, voices, tongues of fire, and other relics: watch this space.
We're really sorry that some people won't be able to get in to the Nightingale events. We'll think about how we can get round this problem next year."

4th February - Parasol Unit
The Parasol Unit Readings Series continues on Thursday, 4 February, 2010 at 7 pm with a reading by Peter Riley.
Peter Riley was born in Stockport in 1940. He was an editor of The English Intelligencer and the editor/publisher of Poetical Histories. Passing Measures, his selected poems, was published by Carcanet in 2000, and The Day’s Final Balance: uncollected writings 1965-2006 was published by Shearsman in 2007. His most recent book, Greek Passages (Shearsman, 2009) is a set of 105 prose-poems derived from four sojourns in Greece. Mark Scroggins has called Riley’s work “an extraordinary poetry, one which takes the techniques of modernism to almost a certain limit, yet retains the entire lyric and emotional intensity of the English tradition.”
Parasol Unit is located at 14 Wharf Road, London N1 7RW, between Old Street and Angel tube stations. Parasol Unit readings are organized by Barry Schwabsky. They are free to the public. More information at http://www.parasol-unit.org/.
