FROM TIM ATKINS, [log in to unmask]
Dear Friends,
I'm writing this mail to invite you to a poetry reading which will take
place at The Leather Exchange in London on 5th June.
As some of you may know, Frances Kruk has been suffering from a serious
illness which necessitates her regular and continuous treatment in Canada.
This distressing and expensive business has also meant that she and her
partner Sean Bonney have had to move to Hastings, at not inconsiderable
cost.
The aim of this reading is to get a large number of people together in order
to generate a large amount of money and large amount of hot air (how could
there not be with 30+ poets reading in the same evening?) and a large amount
of books. If everyone is able to pay the £10 entrance fee (with no problems
if people can't - this is a poetry reading after all) and bring along books
(theirs or otherwise) to sell for Frances & Sean, we should be able to make
a good sum of money and have an excellent evening in the process.
The attached poster / flyer is going to go up in various poetry venues round
London in the next few weeks: I guess it is obvious that the more publicity
& people we can get, the better.
This event is necessarily ad hoc, utopian, and sloppy: the readers are all
connected to Frances & Sean in some way and the event is meant to be a
celebration rather than a statement of anything.
Do please let as many people know about this as possible. Do please come.
I am sure we will all have a rowdy and exciting evening.
Any thoughts or comments can be sent to me at [log in to unmask]
With thanks and love fr Tim
