August #reading - Got two #books as gifts... #losangelesyouaintthatfarfromhell from my friend @david.lambert.9843499 - after discovering he was a published poet and asking where I can obtain a copy of this. It’s very good and includes an introduction by #benjaminzephaniah The second gift, which I’ve just started was #makesomespace by #emmawarren - sent to me about a week ago by @upsideyourmind - it’s a very inspiring read about venue and recording studio #totalrefreshmentcentre in #hackney And finally I was lent #thelacuna by #barbarakingsolver - a fictional account of an author in 30s and 40s Mexico and the USA interspersed with real-life characters and events - for a time the narrator lives and works with #fridakahlo #diegorivera and #trotksy - I don’t often read fiction, but enjoyed this. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEyecKQJ7jA/?igshid=xmnwfehp74su
