Sat in the court room Where they were deciding The immigration status of our distant family members, All I could think was - The animal carvings, The stained glass windows, The dignified procedure, The grandeur of the court... ...how I wished she was there to see it too.

Bardic and other dates for your diary

Saturday February 6th - National Libraries Day Lots of things going on in Somerset Libraries and around the UK for National Libraries Day. As Bard of Glastonbury, I'll be reading poems from the books on the shelves in Glastonbury [Public] Library all day. Come and find me for a one-to-one reading (or one-to-several if I get a crowd). 10am - 4pm (but I'll take breaks when I feel like it!). Street Library is also launching a creative writing competition the same day, which I'm picking the poetry winner for. From noon on the same day there is a fundraising tribute to David Bowie taking place in the shop window of Cancer Research UK on Glastonbury High Street. I'll be reading 'I Was Pianos' - my cut-up tribute to Bowie - as part of the event. Wednesday February 24th - Read Aloud Day I'm taking part in World Read Aloud Day for Library of Avalon . I'm not sure exactly what format this will take... but it will definitely involve me reading aloud...
