Shane Rhodes - Err

Taken at the Manx, Plan 99 Reading Series which presented the Book Launch of "Err" by Shane Rhodes.

It was hot inside despite the lovely cool spring day. Must have been the beer tickets, chocolates and poetry books handed out by Monty Reid to the volunteers of VerseFest and the fact that the house was paaaacked!

Not having much personal poetic cred I think that I heard some influence(?) of Christian Bök's Eunoia in some the poems in Err. The reading was strong enough to stand on its own, however, and fun enough that I took home a copy.
