'Maybe my favourite kind of writing ... is the dense, allusive, difficult and knotty poetry of the ignored gang of British avant-garde writers like Bill Griffiths, Denise Riley, Maggie O'Sullivan and too many more to mention. On the train I read the first issue of a new magazine, the Journal of British and Irish Innovative Poetry, and it made me ridiculously happy ... ', writes Ian McMillan on

The David Mitchell Conference 2009 was remarkable in a number of respects. First it was a conference focused on a living contemporary author who has published only four novels.

Those attending the conference therefore had

It certainly appears to have potential for seminar leaders and co-researchers. BookGlutton Homepage and Publisher
