I'm reluctant to hog any of Laura's limelight, Lynn - but the simple answer is nine lines down from the top of the story.

Evening Laura, I appreciate I'm like a dog with a bone but who from WOL interviewed you? Simple question that requires a simple answer. Enjoy your night x

Laura,
I look forward to reading your collection.

If the dice fall right on that night I might even be able to get there and hear you and the others performing.

Best of luck.

Hey - great interview! Wish I could be there on the 9th, but it's a bit far to travel up from Guernsey. Enjoy the evening. I'm sure it'll be a gas.

Thanks for the lovely comments, folks :) It's great to be able to share some of the stage-craft tricks that I've learned over the years, and to publicly state my debt to WOL.

The book launch is a free event and you're all very welcome to come and have a few beers and enjoy :) Joy, Steph and Louise are all outstandingly good poets and I'm proper chuffed they agreed to perform on the night. It's gonna be a real treat!

It's wonderful to see your work getting the recognition it deserves, Laura. HUGE congratulations!!! All the very best for that launch night, and I hope and trust it's just the first of many.

Superb interview, too. I couldn't be prouder to know you. :-)

This is an inspirational interview, Laura, and contains some great advice to poetry performers. Well done, chuck! That first review of yours is some piece of writing, too.

Congratulations Laura on your book launch, for a fee.

As we have performed at the same venue on the same day, I have experienced the 'Wigan' hospitality.... does that earn the right to know who the secret six are? Go on whisper to me....

Excuse my mind and my open mouth! Looking for someone to shed the light! That's the poet in me!

Such an inspiring account of self development and expanding the mind and it rings true for me being an old bugger and "born again" by the experience of sympathetic audiences at live reading events here in the south. There is a continual thread running through the country of the power of the spoken word when in control of itself. A real antidote to the political twaddle learnt by rote by your average media clown as propaganda.

Just to add that you Laura have been a real inspiration to me with your attention to encouraging detail in my submissions on Write out Loud, Thank you for that.
Congratulations on your book of poetry !

Laura - We have never met, but I feel like I know at least part of you (perhaps the best part) through your words, which at times are inspirational, emotional, passionate and seasoned with good reason and sage judgement. Please keep on producing the same level of excellence and sharing your thoughts through your own prose and commenting on others'.

Aww cheers both! Well I'm very glad I did kick your arse Stu, because you are an incredibly talented poet and it would be a real shame not to share that with the world :)

Backatcha Julian ;) Thank YOU.

Wonderful. Thank you, Laura, for being such a star and a fab human being. Yours is the sort of inspiration we need at such a precarious time as this.

'We cannot grow as human beings if we are being continually kept in a state of submission. The anger turns inward then, and begins to attack the self.'

this is amazing!
