September.   Thanks for dropping by. It's  Melbourne Australias   first day of spring. More about that in the blog. But I am back in London now. Enter Autumn. Outside my apartment  the leaves  are tucked into the kerb  like a nervous group of early comers awaiting the concert!

Your web experience of myself could kick off with a dynamic recipe (!) I found some years ago. I posted it to Canongate books and they put it on their website under the title LEMN SISSAY'S ANTIDOTE TO WINTER BLUES. Please have a look at the recipe and tell me what you think. Click.

There's tons of stuff on the pages. Live recordings. Studio recordings, books and poems but i am always trying to imporve so please get in touch with any suggestions.

Check out A Grat Day. It's a photoshoot at the british library in Kings Cross of Black british writers, drag your mouse over the picture to see the names. Click

It's gonna be a busy month. On September 19th   as representative of The Ministry of Fear I shall be giving press conferenes in the toilet of  Battersea Arts Centre as part of The Imagination Festival.  The press release concerns The fire of London 1666 and the present day war on terror.  Do you really think that the great fire of london began in a bakers shop - think again!  Be there if you can and spin on the spin.

I’ll be mostly reading forty  books for the John Lewellyn Rhys prize. The judging panel is chaired by the wonderful novelist  Courtia Newland.  Just read “ On Beauty”  by Zadie Smith. The  GFs’  book My Fathers Daughter is on the same list.   I won't say if you won't. They share the same editor in Simon Prosser at hamish and Hamilton.  

A lot of people have said that my BLOG had problems in that you couldn’t leave a comment without signing up. That is no longer the case so if you  view my blog click on the comment bit and  then click on post a comment and Hey Presto. It’s all good.
