I have heard a few performance poets lately and am unsure how I feel about hearing, rather than seeing, poems. It’s not that I don’t enjoy listening, I do, enormously, but there is a subtle change in my relationship with the poem which has stimulated a puzzled interest in me.
It’s the same with paintings. We [...]

Well, the clocks have ’sprung’ forward and it’s officially the start of British Summer Time! Keeping this brief today as the Sun is at last gracing us with his divine and extremely welcome presence – and I need to get the broad beans and the spuds in!

Each morning I look at the beautiful print I have on the wall in my bedroom – it was painted by a wonderful, sensitive and spiritually focussed American artist called Melissa Harris, and depicts a woman in a green robe with a red lining (like my own ritual garment) standing by a Cornish windbush – [...]
