Wonderful review of Alice Neel: Hot Off The Griddle opening Barbican Centre tomorrow and lovely to see a small mention of the beautiful book I was so happy to work on Prestel Publishing

Loved reimagining Anne Hathaway for this brilliant anthology, and wonderful to be published alongside so many fantastic poets!
