Biggest crowd in ages tonight - 11 people and more readers than we could fit into the two hours.

Fans of poetry and prose should check out The Golden Hour: a cabaret evening of literary delights. Visit the Green Note (106 Parkway, Camden NW1 7AN), readings from Erica Duffy, Jane Flett, Jason Morton and Ryan Van Winkle, a selection of live music and a Paper Cinema.
£5 admission, show starts at 7pm.

Oh yeah, also, Sam Taradash, one of the WGwg writers, will be reading something. So there's a "local" boy in this international literary brouhaha.

There were nine people in tonight but only two readings, which was fine as these took over an hour to listen to and discuss.

A new chap emailed us today and we naturally invited him to come along. Anne and I were there before 8pm. He turned up at 8 and we chatted... at 8.20 it looked like it would just be the three of us (embarrassing). Luckily, a couple of other members joined us and it turned out to be a good session with three readings. Anne wrote a poem called an amusing pantoum which I had to look up just before she read it out (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantoum).

What We Were Thinking Just Before The End

Meet the authors and hear some mind-blowing extracts and after the interval a rare treat — a young author finding great international success: Joe Dunthorne*, author of "Submarine", for reading and Q&A.

28th May, 8pm
Willesden Green Library Centre, Studio 2.
95 High Road
Willesden, London
NW10 2SF

Admission is free. Refreshments will be provided, and plenty of opportunity to get a copy of the stunning (we're prejudiced) new book. WGwg's previous collection won a major national award, but we're too modest to mention it (see links, everywhere!).

* Joe Dunthorne has been compared to a new J. D. Salinger, by no less than a reviewer in the New York Times. The same comparison has been drawn by other reviewers, so don't miss this chance to meet this interesting young author. (www.joedunthorne.com)

I made this cos I was bored out of my brain. By made it, I mean, I nicked the photo online the put the letters on via photoshop. But it's still pretty.
