“We’re thrilled to announce that Iain Sinclair and artist Oona Grimes are collaborating on a new illustrated poetry book coming out this autumn. Sinclair, the author of vivid and seminal novels such as White Chappell, Scarlet Tracings; Radon Daughters, and the reknowned literary geography London Orbital, is creating new suite of poems based in Hastings. Grimes is reknowned for her richly allusive and playful printmaking, as featured in her recent Conversations with Angels exhibition, and we at Pighog are understandably giddy with anticipation. With an anthology of winning entries to our children’s Short Story Competition also scheduled for release in autumn, and more live events to be confirmed, there is plenty to look forward to, so watch this space!”
