Battle of Ideas

I'll be appearing on a panel at The Barbican, as part of 2016's Battle of Ideas, to discuss various notions of independent and counter culture, the impact of Rough Trade on our sense of these things and, hopefully making a few contentious statements regarding the commodification of all this, using our seemingly insatiable thirst for nostalgia. Or something.

Anyway, check out the rest of the panel... there will be some seriously good stuff discussed, I'm sure.

Clutag Collectibles 5 Poems Series

I don't know what to say about announcing this without sounding daft, but it's an honour to publish a new pamphlet/leaflet type thing with Andrew McNeillie's brilliant Clutag Press.

One of the 5 Poems series, number 4 in the list, it is available from their website here.

Clutag and Archipelago do such good work it really is incredible to be part of it.
