Grayson Ellis To Appear At Literary Festival

On 3rd November, Grayson will be reading from his newest collection of verse, ‘Spiked Armadillo Juice’ as part of Shropshire’s Festival of Literature. Tickets are available from the event organizers and you should email to reserve your seat. The reading is expected to last an hour and the venue will probably be packed.

Update: The tickets are now sold out. Look for further announcements of Grayson’s appearances on this website.

Shropshire Piles

Inflamed passion, red hot coals,
Inward burning, upward rearing,
Seatward searing, eyeballs weeping
Solace seeking, ointment reeking,
Painful breaking, muscle contracting
Lotion squeezing, easing ending.

Website Update

Grayson has kindly sent me some unpublished poems, which I hope to include on the website in the near future. Unfortunately, he'll be out of the country at the end of December, so my plan to interview him will have to be held over until the New Year. If anybody has any questions they'd like me to ask, could you please send them via the email address at the side of the blog.
