Need a fix of brand new poetry? Course you do, why wouldn't you? Try John Fennelly's truly excellent Another Hunger, seen here enjoyed by your Lit Up hosts. It's a work of beauteous melancholy, full of heart and honesty.

Okay LitUppers (just invented that) it's time to suggest a theme for Helen Mort & Dr Chris Neilan to expound upon in their opening pieces at this Thursday's Lit Up at Chapter One Books UK... we've had ice, we've had food... what'll it be this time?

Just a reminder that you can see the wonderfully brilliant @kimmoorepoet at Lit Up this Thurs, 7pm, at Chapter One Books UK theguardian.com/books/2017/nov…
