Meanwhile, apologies for the long blog silence. I have been in Australia, USA and South Korea this year, accompanying Chris on three major art projects (see his website http://chrisdrury.co.uk/.But we’re back now and working on a new spring programme for VERT Institute (watch this space) http://www.kaysyrad.co.uk/vert-institute.php and trying to make sense of the new (or one might say, now-illuminated) political landscape.

I am also reading my poetry at the Needlewriters, Lewes, on Thursday 12th January:
