Black Middens

New Writing Scotland 31 is out. A large and beautiful anthology, it is crammed with good poems and writing featuring many of the poets who have appeared in p&g.

We recommend it: just look at the cover for a start. (Although don't judge it from that alone...obviously.)

You can purchase the book and much else here http://www.arts.gla.ac.uk/scotlit/asls/NWS31.html

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!
