Great project creating a set of Chinese whispers between artists in film, sound, poetry, stories and song.

On the go again...
I'm just getting ready for another bout of events and travel: I'll be reading with Kathleen Jamie at the Southbank Centre on Monday night, and flying out to Toronto the next morning for the International Festival of Authors. After that I'm visiting friends and family in Vancouver, Edmonton and Victoria, where I'll also get into the BC Archives for research on West Coast life in the 1930s. Grandmere has told me about the legendary diction of CKCD radio presenter Earle Kelly, "Mr Good Evening". All being well I should be able to hear clips of his shows in the Archives. It's very exciting.
Here's links for the readings...

Poetry Readings in Orkney
I'm heading to Orkney next Sunday to give two readings – the first at Woodwick House, as part of the Poet Partner scheme, on the 20th. This is the first leg of an exchange between Orkney and Shetland's Poet Partners: myself and Pam Beasant. Looking forward to welcoming Pam to Shetland this autumn; perhaps she'll bring North the renga form that sounds as if it's thriving in Orkney.
The second reading is in the Pier Arts Centre on the 22nd September as part of EQUINOX – An Evening for Orkney Futures http://www.sand14.com/relocatinginnovation/orkney/index.htm
I'm very excited about that: the Pier was closed for its refurbishments when I was last in Orkney.
