PS -- Pacifica radio is not BBC. that's sort of like your NBC, CBS, ABC, no? surely no equivalent, but... but not _that_ maintstream. ........richard owens 810 richmond ave buffalo NY 14222-1167 damn the caesars, the journal damn the caesars, the blog --- On Tue, 3/3/09, David Latane <[log in to unmask]> wrote: From: David Latane <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: BBC Radio 4 Programme on Morden Tower, Bunting, Pickard et al To: [log in to unmask] Date: Tuesday, March 3, 2009, 7:39 PM I got thru the broadcast today -- good radio listening, but the peasant poetry stuff to me seemed laid on a bit thick. Americans can't see why having parents who went to college means you're no longer an "ordinary person." And Ginsberg didn't live there, did he? It prompted me to get out of the box my copy of _High on the Walls: An Anthology Celebrating Twenty-Five Years of Poetry Readings at Morden Tower_. Americans who are astonished at having the likes of Bunting, etc. on the radio will really be dumbfounded to find that this anthology was edited by Gordon Brown! Radio stations affiliate with Pacifica in the US sometimes do good local poetry programs. My own is WRIR, which also broadcasts on-line. A fine jazz program Sunday mornings, Easter Standard time. http://www.wrir.org/ David Latané http://www.standmagazine.org
