Fiona Sampson, the editor of Poetry Review, will be reading at the Midlands Arts Centre on Thursday 12th January at 7.30pm.
This is part of the Poetry Bites series at the MAC, which means there will be floor spots available for those members of the audience intrepid enough to want to perform too. If you do want to read your own work, bring two or three poems and arrive a little earlier to make sure of a spot.
Fiona Sampson's most recent books are: Travel Diary (Patuvacki Dnevnik) (Knixevna Akademija, Macedonia, 2004); Evening Brings Everything Back (translations of Jaan Kaplinski, Bloodaxe, 2004); A Fine Line: New Poetry from East and Central Europe (with Jean Boase-Beier and Alexandra Buchler: Arc, 2004); Folding the Real (Seren, 2001); a chapbook, Hotel Casino (Aark Arts, 2004); and, forthcoming, The Distance Between Us (Seren, 2005). Awards include the 2003 Zlaten Prsten for international writing, a Hawthornden Fellowship and the Newdigate Prize. She has a PhD in the philosophy of writing process (University of Nijmegen, 2001) and is AHRB Research Fellow in the Creative and Performing Arts at Oxford Brookes University and Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Sussex.

To find the Midlands Arts Centre, MAC says they are 'next door to Cannon Hill Park, opposite the County Cricket Club on Edgbaston Road – off Pershore Road (A441) and Bristol Road (A38). There’s lots of free parking for cars and bikes in the adjacent Birmingham City Council car park. If you come by bus, the number 1 stops right outside and the numbers 45 and 47 stop just around the corner on Pershore Road. You can pick up bus timetables from our Ticket and Information Office at MAC, or call us on 0121 440 3838.'
