How did it go, Geraldine? So sorry not to be able to make it, but the pace of my court hearing is pretty relentless. I finished some cross-examining on Thursday, went to the Poetry Soc annual lecture (On Being Old) and dozed through it, appropriately enough, so I can't tell you how it was at all. it certainly seemed to offend the more elderly members of the audience, leaving the poet C K Williams, in his 70s, somewhat bemused.
ReplyDeleteIt went well, thanks James. Packed house as you'd expect for eight poets. Some positive reactions/comments so I came home feeling happy!
ReplyDeleteI sold a book too which is certainly better than selling none! And Fiona came to support us.
Love the idea of nodding off at a lecture on being old. I wonder what was said that offended! Probably hit too many spots. Shame.
