In London for a few days. Went to a lovely party at @LRBbookshop to celebrate ten years of @J_M_Originals and to launch @Han_Smiff - here’s a photo of the back of some people’s heads.

It's publication day for PORTRAITS AT THE PALACE OF CREATIVITY & WRECKING!
I wrote this to think about silences, almostness, poetry, distortions of history, more.
Thanks SO much to @johnmurrays @AbiScruby @EveWhiteAgency and all who have supported it!
