If you are in Southend (England) this coming Sunday (25 October) then catch the Sundown live words and music gig at The Alex on Alexandra Street (7:30 - 10:30pm) featuring, among other things, a storytelling session by your's sincerely. I'll be premiering a brand new tale. Which could be a good thing – or maybe not.

Charles Christian to be Blogger in Residence for the Aldeburgh Poetry Festival

Charles Christian — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:09:00 +0100

Charles Christian (hey, that's me) is to be the Blogger-in-Residence during the upcoming Aldeburgh Poetry Festival (6-to-8 November). Join me as I journey through the irresistible small seaside town of Aldeburgh. What will I make of Philip Levine’s first UK appearance for 30 years? Will I be called upon to provide harmonic backing vocals to John Hegley’s droll reflections on life? How will I react to a visionary encounter with Geoffrey Hill, widely considered the most important English poet today? Will I spot (or be) the biggest cheat at the late night Poetry Quiz? And more importantly will I make it to the front of the legendary Aldeburgh Fish & Chip shop queue?
