Everyone was in good form. Poems were read by Katherine Gallagher introduced by Vivienne Fogel who also read some poems. There was an interval for chat, nibbles and signings. among the many poets and writers there. Unfortunately. Tony Ward and Angela Jarmxzan, Publishers of Arc, who had planned to come from Todmordern, were finally unable to come due to family ill-health. I would like to thank Tony and Angela especially for my book, my 7th and my 5th with them. I love its colour and design. splendid. And the night went very well. Poetry was in the air. air, as the dandelions sang free.
Many thanks too, to the Hillbilly Social(Maisy and Staff) for their excellent hospitality. Myddleton Road, N22, had a real buzz. Many thanks to those who came. I was very grateful.
