Salt Margins
Poetry, fiction and music
at The Whitechapel Gallery
Thursday 11 October
Doors 7pm, readings from 8pm
Free entry
Salt Margins continues its popular residency at The Whitechapel Gallery with
a rare appearance on these shores by cult US author Matthew Licht. Reading
from his latest book The Moose Show, Licht's writing has been described as
'smart, warm, engaging but also contains a healthy dose of New York "F**k
you!"' (Geoff Nicholson). Joining Matthew Licht are Tall Lighthouse keeper
LK Robinson and rising literary stars Abigail Oborne (Generation Txt) and
Ross Sutherland (Aisle 16).

Matthew Licht
Matthew Licht got an education in New York City. He has had many jobs, from
driving the delivery truck for a VIP liquor store in Beverly Hills to being
The World's Oldest Copy Boy at the Newspaper of Records. He is the author of
The Crazy-House Gag and a detective trilogy World Without Cops. Licht is
also an underground filmmaker. He lives in Italy.
LK Robinson
LK Robinson is a poet and publisher, and the man behind independent
London-based poetry press Tall Lighthouse. He's been writing poetry since
1988, inspired by a TV programme on George Barker. LK Robinson's second
collection you say it's been good is published in October by Waterways.
Abigail Oborne
Born and raised in the Midlands and now living in Whitstable, Kent, Abigail
Oborne is part of the Generation Txt collective and is inspired by the likes
of Frank O'Hara and David Shrigley. Still only 24, Abigail is one of our
most exciting new writers, unashamedly experimental and ambitious.
Ross Sutherland
Ross Sutherland's first gig was supporting John Cooper Clarke. He's a member
of acclaimed live poetry collective Aisle 16. Described as 'sublimely
twisted' by The Scotsman, Ross has performed all over the UK and Europe and
is currently writing a thesis on computer-generated poetry.
