Flood poetry

Take a look over on the prose and poetry webzine Ink Sweat and Tears for a poem of rain and commuting inspired by the A68 - a grand road bordered by hares and lapwings in season - but could be just about anywhere in the UK right now especially the southern half and contributed by p&g editor Bridget Khursheed.

Poet and artist Helen Ivory now runs Ink Sweat and Tears which has a long history for an online zine - founded by Salt author Charles Christian in 2007 as a platform for new poetry and short prose and experimental work in digital media.  IS&T reviews poetry, prose, prose-poetry, word & image pieces and everything in between.  Their tastes are eclectic and magpie-like [good] and they usually publish something new every day [better still].

Split Screen, London, England 11th October 2013

And while we are talking about the South Bank here is another fine offering.

After more than a year of touring the provinces and poetry festivals, Split Screen finally washes up here. An evening of poetry inspired by movies and television from the anthology published by Red Squirrel Press.

Hosted by editor Andy Jackson, tonight's line-up include the wonderful Brian Johnstone, Dzifa Benson, Naomi Woddis, Paul McGrane, Helen Ivory, Martin Figura, Ira Lightman, and the inimitable Sally Evans. Poems will range from The Sweeney to The Clangers. What - as they say - is not to like. And you can go on the Tube and cross over that river in London too.

Tickets £8 from the Southbank Centre box office. The event runs from 7pm until 9pm. Enjoy!
