Next Tuesday 8 p.m. Wendy Mulford & Fanny Howe read at Sub Voicive Poetry, Upstairs, The Three Cups, Sandland Street, London WC1 admission £5 unwaged £2.50 [this is not meant to apply to those so well off they dont have to work] We shall publish - hopefully - it's always cliff-edge / seat of the pants Sub Voicive Poetry 1997 number 14 one pound fifty incl post in UK - overseas rate available I commend the A - Z to anyone who doesn't know where it is. It is fiendishly difficult to describe though it is not hard to get to. NB London cabbies do not know where it is or think they do and dont. Holborn Tube - Piccadilly isnt stopping there this month. Number 8 bus from Victoria. Look for the entire block that isn't there. We start at 8.15. The point of saying 8 pm is to deal with those who aim for 8.15 and then come late because of transport delays. And there is also the problem of people coming late noisily. We have had that increasing at SVP recently and I am trying to deal with it. I think it is important that the poets are allowed to read with as few distractions as possible. It is possible to come in quietly. Additions to the published and widely advertised programme.... After Wendy and Fanny, there is one more performance in this half of the season - Patricia Farrell and Aaron Williamson. 1st July 1997 We start again on Friday 19th September 1997. The poets will be announced. After that on 23rd September is Jerome Rothenberg and Pierre Joris which was announced long ago. After that, a newly-announced reading Spencer Selby will be reading - with slides - on Thursday 2nd October 1997. You can see Spencers graphical work on the cover of Sub Voicive Poetry 1997 number 12 featuring Gilbert Adair and on the cover of the new Mainstream Book called Surface Bursts by Gilbert Adair.
