On Friday 21 August I’ll be joining poet Jonathan Edwards (My Family and Other Superheroes) at the Baillie Gifford Corner Theatre for poems and chat at this year’s Edinburgh International Book Festival. I’ll be reading from my second collection, The Good Dark, and you can find some interviews I did about it below. Hope to see you there!
The Good Dark — Interviews
“Fundamental, beautiful or total menace.”
“So, I tend to apologise.”
“I do miss reporting and think it can be truly meaningful, truly impactful in a way which poetry and fiction just can’t be.”
“…man, this beach is useless.”
“Are you threatening me?”
“Aliens and hoverboards…”
“I still have a little of that in me, the feeling that some days I’d be better off packing up for Australia.”
“I’m still trying to figure out how much I can cut him up without killing him.”
“When I write a poem, I’m not trying to entertain, I’m trying to be honest.”
“I’m afraid of scales.”
