from Narayani

Just to let you know about that poetry event I mentioned on Tuesday. Its at the LBC which is in Bethnal Green. Its on from 7.30pm on Saturday 19th June and this time the guest poet is Hugo Williams. Its £7 entry and if it takes the previous format there will be a question and answer session first to get a flavour of the poet as a person followed by a reading session. Its a lovely venue and where I first saw Mimi Khalvati whose lovely ghazal we read on Tuesday.

I don't know Hugo's poetry but there's a lot of information about him on the web and this event will be a good way to find out more.

Maybe see you there?
