Poetry Lovefest at the GRV

On Valentine’s Day, I was involved in a night of poetry at the GRV, with 26 poets re-imagining the Hebrew Song of Songs. It was another great night organised by Rob A. MacKenzie and I was happy to be asked to contribute.

The verse I was given was: 4:1 – Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thine eyes are as doves behind thy veil; thy hair is as a flock of goats, that trail down from mount Gilead.

It inspired me to write something horny and humorous. You can view it on youtube.

Enjoy!

Carry A Poem – Leon’s story

In Edinburgh, this year’s UNESCO City of Literature reading campaign is entitled Carry A Poem.

Their website says:

Rory Bremner carries his in his head. Lorraine Kelly pins hers to her jacket. How do you carry yours? In your wallet? In your pocket? On your Ipod? We want you to share how you carry a poem – or find a new poem to carry this February.

Carry A Poem have kindly accepted my contribution, and it can be read here.
