Shoes on holiday

Just to show how far a gifted pair of shoes can travel here are some photo's from my recent roadtrip in Portugal and Spain. Thanks to Belfast artist Angela Ginn for the now well travelled shoes.

My poem Three hours out from Heathrow has been read on Radio National's Poetica...if you want to listen there is a podcast.

I've just spent the day at the Alhambra...I am speechless.

Currently in Portugal. Picked almonds and figs yesterday. My friend Wendy has hurt her arm so I am doing the driving...we are driving to Spain tomorrow hoping to make it to Granada and visit the Alhambra. I am writing a poem (of course!) hoping for it to become part of a new Iberian manuscript....along with some poems I had written around a previous trip to Madrid.

In Wales tonight!

Been a busy few days, first picking up the books at Llanfyllin, a poetry reading at Whitchurch Library in Cardiff, off to see a Iwan Bala exhibition (highly recommended) and last night to see Tim Minchin (humour like that makes you proud to be an Aussie).
