on how to get your fat ass down to a decent poetry reading

June next year is very far away but already santiago feels like The Other Room could be quite interesting - what with appearing alongside proper published poets what do teaching and stuff - Allen Fisher and Ceri Buck. It's going to be like some Visigoth turning up and trashing the place - I hope. Obviously it'll be sound poetry but whether that will be mainly percussive or feedback or vocal layers or something without any technology or found sounds or what isn't possible to say at present. Be there if you can.

If you can't then please make the effort to be there for 4 February 2009 with Richard Barrett, Patricia Farrell and Lucy Harvest Clarke and for 1 April 2009 with Tim Atkins and Phil Davenport. All readings start from 7pm at The Old Abbey Inn on Manchester Science Park - map here you lazy fucks.

I will keep boring on about this for as long as the nights keep happening. You have been warned.
