i'm still im...i arrived just too late to read.<br /><br />i'm still impressed with the miners poem tho claire. a brave choice for an audiince of 'a certain age'!<br /><br />i think that'll be the same guy. me and t had a lot of discussion about him on the way back. i love his wordplay, his constructions but, as with a lot of that style, it was delivered so fast, and there was so much of it, i lost a lot of it. can i read any of it anywhere? and also, if they're doing anything in your neck of the woods let me know as i'd be well up for seeing more of what he can do.<br /><br />i also really liked fiona's(?) stars and sand poem. genuinely lovely.swisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924594772578153947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9016863230532205673.post-12399071907177413372009-09-03T10:39:40.669+01:002009-09-03T10:39:40.669+01:00Hello!

Walking down to the SPL I met Jenny Lindsay in the street who told me the names of a few people who were performing, so before I even got in the building I was thinking "no danger of me winning then, that means I can just sit back and enjoy it!" So then erm, shock ensued. Really glad my pieces all went down so well, though!<br /><br />I think the young bloke was probably Bram, right? He's one of the Chemical Poets, who are bloody brilliant. And the sailor's gansey poem was my favourite of the night, too, I think... though I also love Jenny Lindsay's stuff.Claire Ahttp://www.onenightstanzas.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9016863230532205673.post-24157541480156027572009-09-03T09:56:46.303+01:002009-09-03T09:56:46.303+01:00i am so happy that you enjoyed this evening, it is...i am so happy that you enjoyed this evening, it is not easy to atune oneself to poetry all the time, and it is good that it is so, i think. but it niggles at you, and there is no escape :-) <br />you didn't want to read yourself or was it a mistake that your name was not on the list?Roxanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05650840495095863057noreply@blogger.com
