Reading by Don Paterson
A special return visit after last year's spell binding event “Don Paterson is fantastic… This is
supple, sinewy language, fighting cliché and familiarity. Everything about this poet is good -
in the mouth, in the heart, on the palms of your hands. He is tattoo and taste.Wear him,
think him, read him, know him.” Jeanette Winterson
