Hello Viki! I’m the moderator of your UWRF panel ‘Women’s voices: around the globe’. Greatly looking forward to it, and to the launch of the book too. The panel session will be a very lively one I’m sure. What I’d like you to do is talk briefly about yourself then do a short reading (one poem maybe?). Then there’ll be q and a. Does that sound ok? And let’s meet up in the Green room half an hour before the session starts.
