Audience and Readership: A panel with James Davies, Jim Hinks, Alec Newman and Togara Muzanenhamo
Audience and Readership: A panel with James Davies, Jim Hinks, Alec Newman and Togara Muzanenhamo
Who do publishers sell their work to? How do they know where the work of their authors ends up? How do writers go about presenting and promoting their work? Are there any demographics of potential readers who are unaware of a work or publisher’s existence? How do both publishers and poets maintain their readership and also encourage the growth of audience? In this lively panel discussion James Davies, poet and editor of if p then q, poses these questions and more to Jim Hinks editor of Comma Press, Alec Newman editor of Knives Forks and Spoons and Carcanet poet Togara Muzanenhamo.

Endless / Nameless ~ Rachel Sills & Richard Barrett
The gingerbread silhouette of my father
Is absent today I’m perspiring
Or you could say shimmering over a coastline
In a row pegged-out, colour coded
Three weeks’ worth of hearts
A Freudian couch with sponge cake perhaps?
An arrow, a narrowboat, arrowroot blot
A stair-lift stops, temperamentally
I decline to use the honesty box
But am generous for life-guards
On a good day, only on a good day
A magazine before dinner before, later, the paper
The evening smell of tobacco
‘Papa?’ I hear; to which I answer ‘yes, Nicole?’
More at The Red Ceilings.

12 or 20 (small press) questions with Nikolai Duffy on Like This Press
I’ve “…been really interested in the physicality of books and book production for a while, an interest that was piqued in particular when I visited the Tyopgraphy Museum in London several years ago. I think it’s more established now but it was an old, ramshackle place then, hard to find, largely unorganised, with boxes of type lying out on every surface. It was a place in which to lose yourself.” Nikolai Duffy talks about Like This Press on Rob Mclennan’s blog.
