A charming opening to the 2022 fest! A searing hot night at the Southbank centre was marked by four performances by Ida Börjel and James Byrne, Lucija Stupica and Rushika Wick, Anna Svensson-Stoltz and Kayona Daley, Madame Cryptica and Chris Kerr. Really the event happened because of my partners in the enterprise, Pia Lundberg and Sofia Lundstrom of the Swedish embassy and Chris McCabe of the NPL. And it was so good to mix these poets, friends, old and new, visiting from Sweden and those local to London.
