I'll be in Gloucestershire on 19 May, but I'd love to go to this.

It was an excellent evening Rory and I hope everyone buys a copy of 'Come Here To This Gate'.

Today sees the publication by Carcanet Press of Come Here to This Gate by Rory Waterman. I have to declare he is a mate and other poets are available but he is VERY good and this is a phenomenal collection; moving, profound and occasionally filthy. Perfect. Five Leaves Bookshop or online.

I’m touched that so many people came to my online @carcanet book launch tonight, and have messaged or emailed me about my new book. Thank you. I’ll reply to everyone as soon as possible.

Great launch of Rory Waterman's 'Come here to this gate' with a beautiful reading. Also, the idea of #poetry collections including a 'rude pudding' section - as Rory described it tonight - can only be a good thing. 📚🍨
🙏🏻 Carcanet Press for holding an #online launch. #accessibility

TONIGHT! Do please come along (which in fact entails sitting at home, having given my publisher £2, which you can redeem by buying the book if you want to).

Zoom ticket ordered and book ready for Rory Waterman launch tomorrow evening.

About 22 hrs left before my online launch! Please do come along, if you can.

Thank you, English & CW at my alma mater English, University of Leicester, for giving me this feature.

I'd love to see some of you at my launch on Weds! Link in thread. If you buy the book direct from Carcanet before Thurs, use code RWGATE25 at checkout to get 25% off: carcanet.co.uk/cgi-bin/indexe…

There are many gems in Modern Fog by Chris Emery, published by Arc Publications. And when I reached the last of these examples, I was touched. I’ve never met Chris, just liked his work from afar. Perhaps his dedicatee is another Rory Waterman.
