Generation Txt Tour: Coming in 2007

GENERATION TXT, touring the UK in May/June 2007

Featuring: Joe Dunthorne, Inua Ellams, Laura Forman, Emma McGordon, Abigail Oborne, James Wilkes.

In a world of Blogs, iPods and txtspk, six of the UK’s most talented young writers speak out. Poems and lyrics about life, love and jellyfish in watercoolers, tea smuggling, urban regeneration and skinny-fit jeans. Internationally acclaimed poet Roddy Lumsden says ‘Generation Txt looks at all points of poetry’s star … which makes this selection of young writers more vital and a truer cross-section of the poetry that will progress and flourish’.

To accompany the brilliant new anthology Generation Txt, all six writers will be visiting the four corners of the UK in a specially produced live literature show that will appeal particularly to young people, budding scribblers and literary fanatics.
