Pens & Lens is great. I flew over to read at the opening, and it was the first event in Guernsey that I have been to with such a literary buzz. The newly formed Guernsey Arts Commission are behind it, and with any luck it can only spark something of a literary burgeoning in the island. Lots of really good work there, in a great location in St Peter Port.

I’m personally very pleased too. Not only did I get to read my poems, but they are using my work as part of the exhibit. I feel like I have been writing literary love letters to the island for many years, and dear old Sarnia has finally winked back.
