2026 Versopolis Camarade!

It is becoming an annual tradition that I really look forward to - hosting a Camarade event at the Poetry Society celebrating the Versopolis project during the London Book Fair. All thanks to the 16 poets who made this one as energised as previous years, and to Aljaž Koprivnikar, my fellow curator, who is inspiring to work with.

Really nice to pack the place out too, we had people on the stairs, and some of the things they witnessed, it went good weird.

I got to work with Zuzana Husarova. It was our fourth live work together, spanning 11 years. She has always been an influence on me, a completely singular and brilliant poet, possessing a great sense of vision, dynanism, humour, originality. She deserves great credit for work and we had as much fun as ever before wearing the same clothes and waddling about.
