This is unfortunately now sold out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, on Sunday 28th February, from 2pm, I&#8217;ll be introducing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kendalpoetryfestival.co.uk\/events\/ludokinetic-poetry-with-jon-stone\/\">a full hour&#8217;s worth of ludokinetic poems of various kinds<\/a>, some of which can be played as a group, some by individual members of the audience. Tickets for this are still available at \u00a35 each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m immensely excited (and nervous) about this festival, and the chance to demonstrate some of what I&#8217;ve spent the past few years working on. A huge shoutout to Kim Moore and Clare Shaw, KPF&#8217;s indefatigable organisers. Hope to see some of you there (albeit via the medium of Zoom)!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m appearing at three events over the course of the Kendal Poetry Festival, starting with the festival launch event this Friday, which is free to attend from 6.15.
