ShortFuse with Tim Wells, Thaddeus Rutkowski & Annie Freud

Clashing with Roddy Lumsden's Fourcast event below near Covent Garden is the Islington-based ShortFuse poetry & Spoken Word performance night, also on Thursday 23rd February. Click on the poster below to see a larger - and more legible! - version.

Poets on stage will be:

Tim Wells:
A feature length reading from the editor of the long running poetry
zine `Rising' and author of `Boys' Night Out In The Afternoon' – a
well crafted poetry collection which "displays the candour and
swagger of a barroom raconteur" (Donut Press) with an in-depth
knowledge of Carry On films, Roman literature and middle-class
girls. "Verse that excites, entertains, delights and jump-starts your
cerebral cortex like an Iggy Pop feeding you a Semtex aspirin" – Phil
Jupitus.

Thaddeus Rutkowski:
A rare and long awaited reading from the New York author of the
acclaimed `Rough House' (Kaya Press) and `Tetched' (Behler
Publications) "…tough and funny and touching…" John Barth.

Annie Freud:
Intelligent poetry laden with a gentle wit and cutting humour that
effortlessly moves, amuses and astounds.
