Plump up your pillows! Planet poetry is back with Mara Bergman. We'll trace a journey from New York state  to the UK, sharing poems from The Disappearing Room and The Night We Were Dylan Thomas, both published by ARC.  Her photographic, poignant, sometimes humorous eye for detail will draw you into a narratives with unpredictable conclusions. Will you meet your husband? Will you become engulfed by the sofa in cream coloured room? You must find out.

Meanwhile Peter marks the passing of the high modernist J.H.Prynne, and Robin reports hotfoot from Free Verse Poetry Book and Magazine Fair -- where she uncovers a wealth of exuberant creativity.
