tuesday night at The Lamb
Johan de Wit and Allen Fisher read at last night’s Blue Bus session. de Wit’s work consisted mostly of sonnet-length rapid-fire pieces with, well, ‘wit’ shining through.

Earlier, as I made my way to the reading through light drizzle from London Victoria, I noticed this almost parodically English headline:

Hi Laurie, is this the Lamb on Conduit Street? I didn't realise they had readings there.
Yes indeed. The Blue Bus series of readings have been there for 18 months or so now. They're monthly and now are on Tuesdays. Peter Philpott's Great Works ezine has a sidebar for readings in London that will give you the details in advance if you're interested.
That's great to know -- thanks very much. It's a lovely pub. I'm in Cardiff but it's only two hours and a bit on the train to London...
