With legendary US poet Frank Reeve

As a young man Frank Reeve drove combine-harvesters in the Midwest
wheat fields and worked as a longshoreman on the Hudson River docks.
In the 1960s he worked in Moscow and translated for Robert Frost when
he met Nikita Khrushchev.

On his first visit to Tyneside, he will be reading from his new book The
Blue Cat Walks the Earth, backed by jazz duo John Lake and Phil Paton.
The Blue Cat is a cross between Top Cat, Puss in Boots, The Cat in a Hat
and Schrödinger’s Cat. He’s a trickster, a prankster, an illusionist and an
illusion. Of course, he’s telling the truth. And of course, you don’t have to
believe him. Nine lives out of ten, the truth is unbelievable.
