Sassy poetry on a school night
Driving from A to B to the soundtrack of Saturday morning Radio 4 ... not really listening ... when up pops an interview with Brian Bilston. Never heard of him but the poem he read caught my attention and he happened to be having a gig not so far from where I live. Took a punt, bought a ticket ... never been to a poetry event like this before! Best school night in an age. Poignant, pithy, with a dusting of humour, and Henry Normal (whom I also had never heard of) thrown in for good measure. Came away really engaged. Particularly loved the poem written by his cat (with a bit of commentary from Brian!) Definitely, from now on, going to be on the look out for more of Brian Bilston's stuff.
