On Monday 6 February, Alicia is reading Manchester. The UK publisher of her Selected, Carcanet, is in Manchester. I’ll be there myself, having driven over the Pennines with a poet-friend of mine (a good friend and a very fine poet) who lives four villages away from us here in Yorkshire. It’s a long time since I was last in Alicia’s company (Spetses, 2004), though we have often been in touch since our days as moderators here in the early 2000s. I’m looking forward to the occasion.
