Theres a waiting list for tickets to the Heaney reading tonight at Poetry Now.
If you’re going is there any chance I can sneak in?
Hiya Ally (we had a few tickets in the office - if your still interested there are more for today and tomorrow)
Hope all is well…
(@ Mordino - typo fixed, smutty.)
Damnit. I knew I should’ve called! Ow well…. c’est la vie.
I’m working tonight but any recomendations for tomorrow would be swish… (Seriously, Anything you think might even be half decent… it’ll get me out of the house!)
Hey David!
Hope all is well with you - poetry weekend eh? Nice. Thanks for the link, hope the indie hour can learn ya.
@ Ally: The final reading looks very strong. American poet Brian Turner, recent (last weekend in fact) UK Poetry Prize winning Sinéad Morrissey and Kei Miller (of whom I hear/read great things).
@ Aoife: You’re very welcome, as usual. All is good here - Poetry Festival has been interesting. Hope all is well with you.
