Just in. 1 a.m.
Spencer Selby (USA) and Wystan Curnow (NZ) read tonight at SVP
I will be happy to report on it to anyone interested
I couldnt help comparing the audience for the last two readings and tonight
Excluding / allowing for those from afar, without money, without time, with
jobs, , with problems at home, just weary, who can't tell Thursday from
Tuesday, there was a shortfall - it didn't quite cover costs - and I
wondered why I bother or why anyone does
The readings tonight were excellent - a pity so few heard them
Bob Cobbing said to me a couple of years ago that, for whatever reason, now
people only follow poets not poetry. That is unfortunately quite true.
The next SVP is on 14th October but Poetry Please is on Sunday evenings.
In case anyone is reading this, SVP 1997 - 18 featuring both tonight's
poets is one pound fifty payable to me
Diana bless
