LOVE & OTHER AFFLICTIONS

Love & Other Afflictions: a snap poetry reading event this Saturday 11th of February 2pm South African time and 8pm Philippine time. Please check your time zone.

I’ll be sharing poetry from previous books and probably some new work.

This event is to thank everyone who has supported my writing in various ways through the years and particularly during the ongoing crowd funding campaign for me to get to Seattle and New York this March.

My forthcoming book, WAKING UP TO THE PATTERN LEFT BY A SNAIL OVERNIGHT (Gaudy Boy, 2023) will be launched during the AWP Conference and Bookfair.
