Performance poet Michelle Scally Clarke (above, pictured at Lawnswood School), well-known at the Headingley LitFest because of the dynamic part she has played at every Poetry Slam so far (look them up) has been burgled. It happened when she was asleep at her home in Harehills, and the thief, or thieves, stole her laptop. This was last Saturday, between 1.30am and 7.45am. A leather coat, a bag and some cash also disappeared.
The computer contained the only copy of a half-finished novel, a large collection of other pieces of work in progress, and also important documents. Hard luck, Michelle!
It is a white Apple Macbook, and it should be easily identifiable: the 'e' and the 'o' on the keyboard have been rubbed off because of heavy use. It has also been marked with a property pen with ink that shows up under ultra-violet light.
Know anything? If you do, contact her at the Host Media Centre on Savile Mount, LS7. Michelle will be at the Poetry Slam (there could be two of them!) next March.
