Following an autumn launch of USONIA at White Feather Poetry in London, hosted by our former bandmate Steve Tasane, 2026 got off to a great start with another show at the Bluebird Cafe, Wedmore, this time adding Colin Dick and A C Bevan to the autumn line up. We delivered again and Scottie is inviting us back later this year. In the meantime, we are planning a major tour of rural venues with literary links across Somerset, one gig in Wales and a possible overseas trip - more on that story later!
Isabel also helped Modern Poetry in Translation celebrate 60 years of providing a voice to oppressed minorities across the globe. We welcomed Jeffrey Yang and past editor David Constantine at MPT's home - The Queens College, Oxford University. Jeffrey is the author of four poetry collections, a prolific translator and editor. He is currently editor at New Directions Publishing and the New York Review of Books.
