Shearsman Reading Series

Just picked up the first notice of this year's Shearsman events in London. Tony Frazer, who runs Shearsman, put on some fantastic readers last year, not least of which was an exclusive event with Christopher Middleton (who is also published by Enitharmon).

I'm very disappointed I can't make this one, mainly because of Elisabeth Bletsoe. I first stumbled on her work through Tony's guest editing of Poetry International Web (which also featured Frances Presley and Peter Riley). I was blown away.

If you get there, let us know what you think...

The first in Shearsman's 2008 Reading Series takes place on Wednesday, 16 January at 7:30 pm, featuring Elisabeth Bletsoe & Peter Robinson.
