Excellent reading last night by Andrea Brady and Sean Bonney at SVP;
and a good turn out to hear them, which is heartening. I do hope that such
turnouts will continue even though the venue is now far from ideal.
The series is rather stuck there for the next few weeks, but it is hoped
that a move can be arranged fairly soon. Please support the series in the
interim even if the decor upsets you. It upsets me. The poetry is good if
the environment is a little odd. Think of it as an installation.
News on changes when it's available but soon.
Also, hopefully, news of the 4th Colloquium very soon.
Launched last night was issue one of the new magazine SPAD or signal passed
at danger, featuring both last night's svp poets. £2.00 incl post payable to
Lawrence Upton, 32 Downside Road, Sutton, Surrey SM2 5HP - or you can buy
from Peter Riley... Subs also available from Lawrence Upton - £11.50 (UK)
for 6
and not as stated in the mag! Thanks to Robert Sheppard for pointing out
that the sub hadn't been announced
Web pages for the late SVP and the new SPAD will be published at the SVP
website soon.
The next Sub Voicive Poetry gig is on 26th October 1999. It will be Jerome
Rothenberg giving the Eric Mottram Celebration reading.
Jerome Rothenberg is a prolific poet and anthologiser of tremendous energy,
inventiveness and influence. He has a new books coming out, as so often!,
and is presently reading and teaching across Europe - France, Italy and
Austria.
This reading has been two years in preparation and the ecorrespondence would
make a book in itself as we tried to work out how to present a poet who
lives in California in a pub near Holborn. He has spent a lot of time just
trying to make himself available. At present, he is based in Paris for his
European appearances and we are bringing him over from there solely for the
gig. In other words, he is putting himself out a great deal to read for us.
PLEASE let's make sure he has a chunky audience.
Anyone who can display handbills etc please b-c.
See you there
