We have now launched the Kalagora website. This is the place to get all the important updates for Siddhartha Bose’s up-coming tour this autumn. Having grown up in Mumbai and Kolkata, he has since lived in the US and in London. The tour explores a story of love, chaos and addiction, a tale that evokes the colour and raw energy of the hybrid, multi-cultural cities of his experience.

The tour will also coincide with the book publication of the same title. Penned in the Margins fans will remember Bose from his contribution to the City State anthology. So, for updates on the man and the show, head over to the website.

Penned in the Margins author Sarah Hesketh is reading from her debut collection Napoleon’s Travelling Bookshelf at Clerkenwell Tales on Tuesday 13 July, 7pm. Sarah is joined by Adam O’Riordan, whose own first collection In the Flesh was out this year. Entry is free.

Sarah’s fabulously icy book is available to order direct from us for £7.99 - and copies will be sold (and signed!) on the night too…
This is what Bernard O’Donoghue has to say about it:
“What Sarah Hesketh’s poems do so remarkably is to string a row of images together in such a way that each keeps its distinct hardness while at the same time contributing to a crystalline whole. They are original and utterly convincing.”

Claire Crowther, writing for Poetry London, has penned a most complimentary review of Sarah Hesketh’s debut collection of poetry, Napoleon’s Travelling Bookshelf.
I was often charmed, mostly because of her care for language, its sounds and patterns.
