Being a poet can be like the proverbial bus wait: a long time with nothing happening and then two or three opportunities come along at once.
I was delighted to be asked by the wonderful Sian Thomas to be a guest on The Poetry Bath on Wildhart Radio just before Christmas 2022. The discussion, with readings from my work, is now available on catch-up.
Sian's shows are great: she is a natural interviewer, with a keen sense of humour and poetic pomposities are often interspersed with giggles. They also provide a broader insight into the lives and work of her guests. I do commend a soak in the bath to you.
I am also a member of the Kent and Sussex Poetry Society, an organisation with a 75 year history. It currently has about 90 members, who meet monthly for workshops on Zoom and alternately in person or online for open mics and a reading by a leading light of poetry.
Once a year, in January, the guest slot is opened to three members of the society and I will be one of them on Tuesday January 17 at the Royal Wells Hotel, starting at 2000. Non-members can attend for an admission fee of £3.00.
I expect I am due for a good long wait before anything else happens.
