I was deeply shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of Sean Rocks. I loved listening him to on Arena but especially loved seeing him interview @ebcf. One of the highlight interviews for me was with @Elif_Safak when he carried all her books out on stage. Magical.

One of my favourite photos of #PaulDurcan at @ebcf in 2017. A rockstar poet RIP beloved by all.
