Cambridge, UK: Pat Borthwick and Kate Rhodes read at Michaelhouse

Pat Borthwick and Kate Rhodes read at Michaelhouse, on Trinity Street, tonight. The event also features short poem floor spots, books for sale and a licensed bar. Doors open at 7:30pm. £5 / £3 concessions.

Pat Borthwick was awarded a Hawthornden fellowship in 2003. She has published two full length collections, 'Between Clouds and Caves' (Littlewood Arc, 1990) and 'Swim' (Mudfrog, 2005). Her latest pamphlet, 'Wave' (Hearing Eye) was a prizewinner in the 2007 Templar poetry competition.

Kate Rhodes' poems have appeared in The Guardian and The Independent on Sunday, and she won third place in the 2007 Bridport Prize. Enitharmon published Kate’s first full collection, Reversal in 2005. The book moves confidently across an eclectic range of subjects from a portrait of Alfred Wallis to a one-to-one dialogue with Damien Hirst's shark, all written in a style that Don Paterson commends as 'pared to the bone, elegant and precise.'

The Wolf launches Issue 17 tonight

Issue 17 of The Wolf launches on Monday 7th April, 8pm sharp. Limited seating!
Venue is The Poetry Studio, 22 Betterton Street, Covent Garden, London.

Readers on the night will be Andrea Brady, Jonathan Morley, James Womack, Siddhartha Bose, Kate Potts with poet/translator Stephen Watts and Ziba Karbassi reading poems and translations from Persian.

London Poetry Meetup

If any of you would-be poet-types are wafting and drooping about London, let me recommend the London Poetry Meetup. We met in the Artillery Arms on Monday to celebrate Shakespeare's birthday and it was quite the food of love.

In advance of each meeting, a great poet (or a handful of 'em) is chosen, and you bring along some of their work to read and some of your own. Along the way, some beer is drunk and some merry tangents are gone on.

The next one is going to feature Browning, Tennyson, Eliot and Pound - who would miss it for the world?

If you're interested, you need to register with the Meetup website:
