This was an invitation to aid Matthew's development (as a poet), because his potential (as a poet) is obvious in his writing. <BR/><BR/>I did go to a couple of those readings, including Daljit's. But selling books and being kind enough to host poetry events do not make you a poet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27813826.post-46682796296498418902008-02-18T12:10:00.000+00:002008-02-18T12:10:00.000+00:00Passingpoet, thanks for the info but if you'd actu...Passingpoet, thanks for the info but if you'd actually passed by C&P before you'd know that we did a monthly poetry night for our first two years with not only Mimi but loads of poets from the poetry school reading as well as Dalgit Nagra and Dannie Abse among others. We also gave the students of the Poetry School 10% off their first purchase at C&P but only one student took us up on the offer. We also did a launch party for a Spread The Word event.<BR/><BR/>So thanks once again for keeping an eye out for us but I reckon we had that one covered already.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15793050007954678178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27813826.post-28469674214006688832008-02-18T11:59:00.000+00:002008-02-18T11:59:00.000+00:00Agreed."The shadows were roughly tree-shaped becau...Agreed.<BR/><BR/>"The shadows were roughly tree-shaped because they were the shadows of trees."<BR/><BR/>But seriously,<BR/>Matthew: why starve all alone in your little garret?<BR/><BR/>Have a look at:<BR/>www.poetrysociety.org.uk (or follow the links)<BR/>www.poetryschool.com (Mimi Khalvati's "Versification" course is highly recommended), or maybe<BR/>www.spreadtheword.org.uk<BR/>I could go one but imagine<BR/><BR/>these are all in C&P's local area and cater for anything from the longer term course-type, to the one-off workshop for those with limited time.
