On Tuesday 16 April, 7:30pm, Lucy Hamilton, Paul A. Green and Nicholas
Johnson read in the Blue Bus series at The Lamb (in the upstairs room), 94
Lamb's Conduit Street, London WC1. Admission: £5 / £3 (concessions).
Lucy Hamilton will be presenting her recent Shearsman book 'Stalker' Her
poems and translations have appeared in many journals including Modern
Poetry in Translation, The Rialto, Shearsman and Poetry Wales and in
anthologies I am twenty people! (Enitharmon, 2007) and This Line is not for
Turning: an Anthology of Contemporary British Prose Poetry (Cinnamon, 2011).
Ten poems from her pamphlet Sonnets for my Mother (Hearing Eye, 2009) have
been translated into Arabic. In December 2010 Lucy became the first woman
and first non-Muslim European in the world to appear, by live satellite
recording, reading her poems at the Havana Café, Mecca.
Paul A Green will be performing from his 'Gestaltbunker' (Shearsman 2012) as
well as new work from the 'Shadow Times' sequence, parts of which have
surfaced in Black Box Manifold, e-Ratio, Junction Box and Dinosaur Bees.
' From his cloister, Brother Paul emerges, jazzed and weaponised...'
(Lawrence Russell) ' ...a sense of foreboding is felt throughout much of the
Gestalbunker...' (Brian Marley, in Golden Handcuffs Review) ' The
Gestaltbunker is a challenge, calling for courage and tenacity in its
audience...' (Sean Hewitt, The Cadaverine)
Nicolas Johnson, poet/publisher of Etruscan Books and champion of Ed Dorn,
David Gasgcoyne, Ian Sinclair, Brian Catling and Carlyle Reedy, among many
others, may read from 'Listening to the Stones', 'Land Redux" or other
recent titles. Like Paul, he is a resident of Hastings, where he organised
last year's memorable Black Huts Festival of poetry and film.
The Blue Bus series is curated by David Miller
