… and I’m featured in a BBC Radio 4 programme called ‘Blood, Sweat, Tears & Poetry’ today at 11.30am. I’m talking to presenter Patience Agbabi about my residency at Bishopsgate Institute.
Then tonight I’m heading off to the Whitechapel Gallery for Plum – an excellent fiction / live lit night. I am giving a talk on the extraordinary poet Barry MacSweeney, and will be playing some previously unheard audio from Barry’s last ever reading.

I think you’ll really enjoy it! Cheers!
Dear Tom Chivers,
I’m an old friend and workmate of the late Barry MacSweeney. I was intrigued to hear about your talk tonight and the unreleased recording of Barry. Where, what, when etc? Any further info would be much appreciated.
Best,
