Hello. I thought I would post up two poems today. Both of these were originally recorded for Cambridge 209 Radio last year.
Apparently 209 is going off-air at the end of this week. Tonight was meant to be the final fundraiser for the station, but I’m led to believe that closure is now unavoidable. If you’re in Cambridge tonight, I urge you to head down to The Maypole pub (Portugal Place) to vigorously support this completely impossible cause. 209 Radio has done some great stuff over the years and they deserve to go out with some sort of devastating explosion. Readings come from Lizzy Dening, Clare Crossman, Kerri French and Peter Hilken.

Both of these pieces also appear in my collection Things To Do Before You leave Town, available from the good people at Penned In The Margins. I say people. His name is Tom. He likes mustard.
