It's been a busy old summer. Award-winning poet Jo Bell has performed at Ledbury Poetry Festival, Buxton Festival, at the O2 for the Brit Writers' Awards, at Kendal Calling and at Glastonbury, where she was the festival's website poet in residence (see her final Glastopoem here). Her final festival of the year will be Shambala, where she appears with a host of spoken word talent including Dreadlockalien, Tony Walsh and many others.

Jo's current project Bugged encourages the UK's writers to eavesdrop and to write new poetry/ fiction/ drama based on what they overhear. The Bugged anthology will be launched in October. Jo is one of four new playwrights showcased by Four for the Port, and is the Director of National Poetry Day in the UK.
