More than a hundred souls braved the snowy wastes of London a couple of weeks back (11.1.10) to bring in the new poetry decade and the first poetry of the year at The Troubadour Coffee House Poetry sessions. Among the poets reading were two recent winners of the Templar Poetry Pamphlet Prizes, Katrina Naomi and Paul Maddern. Alex McMillen, Managing Editor at Templar talked to Malachi O’Doherty during the interval about poetry pamphlets.

You can listen to the interview at http://modoherty.net/WORDPRESS/?p=469

…which will also take you to Malachi’s ongoing news on the arts in Belfast and Northern Ireland…
