Public Appearence

Skull Bearer is going to read some of her poems as part of the Middlesex University Literary Festival, poems chosen are one of Mirek's later ones, and one I wrote about Kristalnacht. This is probably public suicide but they are good poems and I love them dearly. I've edited the Kristalnacht poem so it sounds better read out. It's ironic, but most of the poems I've done on the Third Reich can almost be seen as preformance poetry. They're almost like marching songs.
Which is, of course, pretty damn good. If a tad problematic.
Mirek's, on the other hand, are very structural, and look beautiful. I've picked this one to read out because It Is Awesome and sounds very lyrical. And sad. Oh, Mirek's cornered the matter in sad the way Johannes had cornered it in mental acrobatics.

Anyway. I'll be there, anyone London based who actually likes my poetry- or even if they don't, it's a great festival and they've got Ian Banks there- please come down. I need moral support. Or eggs thrown at me. I like eggs.
