A moment of gratitude
Leg continuing slowly to improve, and moved around in a more humanoid fashion. Also feeling positive and motivated. Up early, because Lorraine had to set off early on a long day. Sent off two lots of poetry manuscripts, and worked on the Centaur project. Also had a long and pleasant chat with The French Bloke and Max about arranging a visit. Have also been in touch with an illustrator in Brighton called Laura about work on an other project that's been hanging about for ages.
Lorraine teaching governors this evening, and I went into town to a poetry reading at the Red Roaster cafe where Robin was reading. A really interesting night. Robin read better than I've ever seen her, and the other reader, a young Romanian woman Andreea Stan who also was an animator with extraordinary hair, who put on a interesting reading combining poetry, animation and hair. Robin did a couple from memory today, and this worked really well. Among friends tonight: Sarah Barnsley, Stephen Bone, Andie and her friend Steph, Stephen, Andie and I read too among the open mic readers, some of whom were very interesting. A night that made me feel very cheerful and strangely grateful to poetry itself.
