Sebastian Barker - Crossing the Tees

London Magazine editor Sebastian reads from his new Smokestack collection The Erotics of God. It is a series of visionary meditations on the theology of desire, the lineaments of the sublime and the beautiful, the mortal and the divine. Sebastian Barker stands in the tradition which includes Patrick Kavanagh, William Blake and The Song of Songs.

‘A brilliant and original voice.’ (Harold Pinter)
‘A genuine and delicate poet.’ (John Heath-Stubbs)


Here's what they said about me:

CROSSING THE TEES


I don't know about 'small town life' - Perth is up to about 1.3 million souls nowadays - but that's an attractive image and just might attract people :-) And I do have a few 'small town poems' - about Toodyay, Kununurra, Albany, Denmark ...
