Update on Oxfam Poetry Calendar Launch

Ms Malaga on the bar counter (taken on our first night in Malaga, needless to say it augered well for the days and nights ahead.... ; ))

I just got an e-mail from Declan Meade, the editor of
The Stinging Fly and he said that the launch went well and that he read my poem for me and the audience reacted really well to it...this has lifted my heart no end as I found myself being quite distracted last night, in the middle of teaching the relative clause no less, with wondering how the launch was going....; ))

Glad to hear the launch went well; sorry that you couldn't make it. That makes two of us. I was knee deep in photography work in Belfast... another poetry project looms!

wowza. this is such a fab pic, liz!

i was so sorry to read that you couldn't make the launch reading. i'm sure there'll be a next time though. just get those magnesium tablets ready. hehe.

do you get author copies of the calendar? maybe we can trade — bundles for the oxfam calendar? i've been looking at their site and haven't been able to figure out how to order from their site. they seem to only have christmas baubles and chocolates for now. hee.

woohooo for the magma publication. that is one cool journal!!

xo,

Hey Arlene, welcome back! : )

It's a pity, isn't it, that Oxfam don't do paypal for the calendars...sorry you had to get lost there among the baubles and choccies : )
I'm going to order a few for friends and family so will order one for you and we can do a swapover...can't wait! : )

Meanwhile, I will be dosing up on the magnesium you recommended before...; )
