I’m in The Riverside Rooms at the south bank 10am.  At 11am I meet Chris from The Poetry Library and Lucy Macnab to discuss The Poetry Book.  We decide on poetry library interns for the administration and research and the possibility of launching the thing at Poetry International in November 08.

It’s a book of all the poems that come through the south bank within my residency. That is poems in all the different departments – poems from the dance programme the music programme the Hayward.  It’s all good. Need a working title.  Deal with admin in the day.

Good news. Mark Damazer head of radio four has said yes to The Saturday Live Poets presented by Fi Glover at The Purcell Rooms. Speak to Martin Colthorpe who gives either 9th or 10th of May as possible dates.   We should go for 10th, a Saturday. 

I take a walk around the Hayward making notes for the gallery tour tomorrow. I’ve never given a gallery tour before.
