Head over to Ertegun House now if you fancy discussing what it means to combine the languages we speak, to reconsider their boundaries, to bend them--and chat to other poets interested in making hybrids.

Starts at 2pm on 37a St Giles, chaired by the wonderful Hermán Luis Chávez

Oh goodness I don't know. The piece is starting to shape, but really it should have been done tonight and I have to continue to shape and cut tomorrow. I hate being so inefficient. But I guess that is the process of writing, which is also thinking, which is hard.
