Tackling Climate Change

Wednesday 28 November at 7.30pm at Upstairs at the Betsy Trotwood, Farringdon Road, EC1 (just opposite the Guardian building) Tickets £5 on the door with proceeds to go to Amnesty International.

George Marshall, author of Carbon Detox and Founder of Climate Outreach and Information Network (COIN) & Ed Stumpf, Founder of Earth Fire Ice Campaign will present their ideas on personal action in stabilizing climate change.

Do we just need to follow 10 steps to Save the Planet; screw in an energy saving lightbulb, recycle our newspapers and cycle to work? Or is something much more radical on the horizon?

George Marshall's blog- http://climatedenial.org/ and Ed Stumpf's campaign www.earthfireice.com

And chatted about the emergence of the new breed of boutique festivals including Green Man, End of the Road, Glade etc, questioning the future of the festival?

The next two Salt Margins at The Whitechapel Gallery are unmissable. Hope to see you there!


Thursday 2 August

Luke Kennard
Laura Forman
Adam Green
The Ex-Men

At 26 Luke Kennard is the youngest ever nominee for the Forward Prize for Best Poetry Collection. He reads from The Harbour Beyond The Movie, his outstanding

second book. Lazy Gramophonite Adam Green reads from Satsuma Sun Mover, a surreal coming-of-age tale. Generation Txter Laura Forman performs poems about Bon

Jovi (yes!) and Battersea Power Station. Plus music and spoken word from Glasgow-based duo The Ex-Men. Doors 7pm, free entry. Produced in association with

Salt Publishing.


Thursday 20 September

Melanie Challenger
Eleanor Rees
Chris McCabe
Songdog

Salt poets Eleanor Rees (Andraste's Hair) and Melanie Challenger (Galatea) have both been nominated for this year's Forward Prize for Best First Collection.

Which is reason enough to come and hear them read. Like Eleanor, Chris McCabe is a Salt poet and a Liverpudlian. His collection The Hutton Inquiry is a

powerful examination of language under pressure. Musical refreshment is provided by the excellent Songdog, led by playwright Lyndon Morgan.

Just dropping by to let you know there are a couple of new tunes [''Kandyman'' and ''Steppa''] up on my page.

''I progressed from patched garments to the pavonine and elegant
Passing through Kensal Green onto Stockwell and Elephant
The details can be sketched out when I feel that its relevant
Now I'm in a new lift freshly squeezed, a Clerkenwell resident''
