Maybe it's the influence of all those Xmas chocolate selection tins, but so far 2012 is all about variety (and trying not to eat chocolate). March's Sight & Sound, on newsstands next week, see me reviewing The Muppets and interviewing lesbian experimental filmmaker Barbara Hammer (and this short intro for The F Word where you can win a season pass!), while in the wildlands of the internet, I've been shimmying to Wild Flag, talking with feminist porn filmmaker Mia Engberg and blogging about censorship in America (as an introduction to my upcoming evening class on Free Speech and Literature with English PEN and Bishopsgate: places still available!).

I also have a poem in the latest issue of the beautiful Cimarron Review and in the forthcoming Lung Jazz anthology, and I'm looking forward to getting my students in Introduction to Poetry involved in creating a website with interviews of contemporary English-language poets. If you'd like to talk to a smart 19 year old getting their first taste of poetry, and have your work featured on the site, get in touch at the email address above...
