Happy Festive Season!

To all the readers of Poets on Fire, and to the hard-working team who run this blog - Matt Merritt, Nina Davies and Charlotte Runcie - I hope you've had a fun and peaceful Christmas holiday so far, and I would like to wish you all an extremely Happy New Year!

Don't forget to keep those listings coming next year and do remember to check the POF blog every few days for our regular updates on what's happening in live poetry around the UK and Ireland.

All the very best for your writing and live poetry events in 2009!

Bloggus Interruptus: Merry Christmas to Poets on Fire Everywhere!

Merry Christmas and my sincere compliments of the season to all poets on fire - or at least smouldering - and other interested browsers, in whichever part of the world you currently find yourself.

I'm off on my festive holidays now, to the land of sofas and wine-drowsy duvets, and will not be posting events up again - I hope - until we're well into the New Year. Apologies to anyone whose impending event has been missed off the blog. That's life.

My hopes and dreams for 2008: I'm hoping this year that I won't receive quite so many emails from people wanting me to post up events which have buggar all to do with live poetry or which take place in the US or which arrive with ridiculously massive attachments or which are laid out in such a loony way that it takes me ten minutes just to sift through them for the facts, and that when I rightly refuse to post such events up on POF I won't receive quite so many pompous and irate replies from irritating idiots.

So again, a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
