Shut me - it's a Morgan fest!




Due to the various encroaching deadlines in my life (including my death) I vowed to only give one lecture/talk/paper/babble crapmajig this year. Turns out I've agreed to give 4. Ooops.

  1. Hi All,

    I am the Events Programmer at the National Library of Scotland and I saw your post regarding the "Poets on their favourite poetry" event that is taking place in April. You might want to double check where this is taking place as I am afraid it isn't happening here at the Library! Sorry if this has caused any confusion!
