Poetry I was startled to get a letter from Bloodaxe, a leading UK based poetry imprint, saying they want to publish three of my poems in a new anthology for national distribution. I was even more surprised that one of the poems dates back to 1996 - have I really been writing poetry for 15 years?
I celebrated by reading three poems in public for the first time in, well, years. Two of them were from a set of my most obscure poems. I got away with it...
I wrote a poem for Manchester Literature Festival / All FM Radio. You can listen to it as a podcast here (as well as a bit of an interview with me and four other poems):

Blog So the blog is up and running. The link to it is here http://blog.peterkalu.co.uk/ So far the blog has covered musings on subjects as diverse as car parks and fashion shows (as well as becoming a 'wall' for some storytelling works in progress). It gets updated sporadically. You can comment on the blog (it is a Wordpress platform) though you have to leave an email address (to stop spammers).
Drama Working away on some drafts of short scenes within a larger play.
Storytelling I have had some really interesting times with new stroytellers from around the world (or who are going around the world!). Go to the 'contact' page for enquiries about my availability as a storyteller. Youtube has one or two videos of stories I worked on with a small team, relating to the subject of Manchester's involvement in the transatlantic slave trade. The main site for the subject is www.revealinghistories.org.uk
There is a small write-up on me in the on-line magazine, 'Yush'. Check it out at this link:
