Templar Poetry Live: Matt Kirkham and Ian Harker

Tonight we launch two eagerly-awaited poetry books. The Dumbo Octopus is the new collection from Matt Kirkham, whose powerful, quirky, witty poetry is reminiscent of Ian Dury in his heyday. Ian Harker's debut pamphlet, The End of the Sky, creates miracles from anarchy and chaos: goldfinches gatecrash Old Master paintings, and an astronaut discovers that stars are not quite as he expected.
