Reading at Paper Ink Print 2025

On Saturday 14 June I’m doing a ‘soft launch’ for new pamphlet Canine Or/The Mesh of Metaphor. I’ll be reading from it at the Paper Ink Print Festival 2025, at Landmark Arts Centre, Teddington, as part of the Poetics Research Centre programme curated by fellow poet Briony Hellon-Hughes. I'm on at 11am – so come and have a listen with your morning coffee! The organisers also chose a version of my Mesh of Metaphor poem as the back cover for the event programme – which means it will be my most widely distributed work, as they have printed 2,000 copies.

Entrance to the readings is free with entry to the festival itself (from £0 to £5). Paper Ink Print begins at 4pm on Friday 13 June and goes on until Sunday. For more details and £1 off with online registration go to the festival website.

A few copies of the Canine Or pamphlet will be available for £15 on the Poetics Research Centre table (Stand B). I will also have some decks of the second edition of The Taro as Deer: Major Arcana.

Any copies of Canine Or left over will go up on the Small Birds Press shop.
