Finally, I joined Mike Parker for his Samhain Season Salon. I also chaired a panel on nature and grief for Good Grief Festival with Katherine May and Lawrence Illsley (video soon). October 2021: I interviewed comics artist Una as part of the inaugural Working Class Writers’ Festival (video soon). Available here.įebruary 2022: In February, I sat down with Max Porter (author of Lanny, Grief is the Thing with Feathers) at Storysmith bookshop in Bristol to talk about WHERE? and zines and things.

One half is issue 3 of my zine, Little Leagues (getting COVID, Top Tens, the sad story of Teddy Brayshaw, observations, more ) turn it over, and it’s the debut issue of Mike’s Policymaker Annual (community radio, community + radio, fictional bands made real, looking for connections, punk spirit). October 2022: Earlier this year, I made a split zine with my pal, Michael T. 26th April 2023, 5:30PM – 7:30PM Tickets are free, and available here. I’ll cover my recent book WHERE? as well as my new project, Now is the Time to Know Everything. I’ll be speaking about finding strange connections between the past and present, how our small life stories seem to connect to bigger themes, and what it means to find our sense of identity in the landscapes we inhabit. March 2023: next month I’ll be giving a talk (online) at the Centre for the History of People, Place, and Community (Institute of Historical Research). Pick up a copy here or read more about the book here. Written against the backdrop of a burning hot summer, an unpredictable autumn, and a wet winter, it is a love letter to a person that never quite came to be. It explores the bewildering excitement of pregnancy and the heartbreak of miscarriage through a fragile blur of family stories, reflections on the past, present and future, and half-remembered dreams. April 2023: My new book Now is the Time to Know Everything is available now.
