I'm not a British poet but I am interested in talking about innovative writing in Britain, so that counts, I hope. I'd like to announce a talk series starting up at King;s College, London. The first three events are as follows: 12 February (Thursday): Ken Edwards 4 March (Wednesday): Robert Hampson 18 March (Wednesday): Tony Lopez Talks will be in room 238 at the Strand Campus. Enter through the main glass doors, go to second floor; 238 is right behind the elevators. I'll be asking for a 4/2 pound donation. Money goes to speakers. All talks will start at 7. I hope that these talks will help with public discussion of the conditions of writing. I can't predict who will be there: writers, students, teachers, readers? Discussing assumptions and reliances helped to sharpen and change writing practices when we had a talk series in the States a while back. So if you could pass the word around about these, I'd be grateful. Bob Perelman %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
