Jay Bernard is one of 21 poets included in the new Bloodaxe anthology of young poets, VOICE RECOGNITION (ed. James Byrne & Clare Pollard, published in September 2009). Here she reads in the 'Roddy and the Pilots' event at StAnza, Scotland's international poetry festival, in St Andrews, on Friday 20 March 2009, featuring five poets who've published pamphlets with Tall-Lighthouse in their Pilot series edited by Roddy Lumsden. She reads 'Kid Moth', 'Lingerie', 'tongues in velvet' and 'And how will she smell?', which are all included in YOUR SIGN IS CUCKOO, GIRL (Tall-Lighthouse, 2008) or in VOICE RECOGNITION. Jay Bernard reads quite softly, so it may help to turn up the sound on this video.
