This weekend, Olivia Harrison took part in a reader event at the famous Los Angeles bookstore, Book Soup. Appearing there on Saturday evening, Harrison recited poetry from Came the Lightening: Twenty Poems for George, her new book of twenty poems marking the twentieth year since George's passing.

My husband-to-be came to visit. I tried to explain

Wanted to prepare him, was I ashamed

That we were happy but humble, worked hard for that roof?

He said, 'It's a mansion compared to my youth'.

- extract from "She"

Joining Olivia at the sold-out event on Hollywood's Sunset Strip was music journalist and Genesis US editor, Rona Elliot, who moderated an insightful Q&A about the work and how it came to be written. The event closed with Olivia signing copies for the readers attending.
