The ever intrepid Clinic are organising another one of their spectaculars at The Amersham Arms on Wednesday 26th May. A real mix of music and poetry, it's going to be a great night.
I've been meaning to get in touch with you to see if you would feel at all inclined to read me something you love (http://readmesomethingyoulove.com/)?
The way Read Me Something You Love works is that you read a couple of pages of a writer you throat-contractingly, heart-thumpingly adore. We then delve into the text for about 20 minutes in a way that hopefully feels and sounds engaging and personal.
A little bit like The New Yorker Fiction podcast, I guess, but not just short stories, also poetry and non-fiction.
A week or two after our recording, The Internet (as a whole) plus my 1000 odd subscribers get to listen in to an edited version of our conversation.
If this is something you might enjoy doing, I'd be thrilled to have you reading.
