Well, the reading at the Performance Studio at Aberystwyth Arts Centre went well on Wednesday night. I read 3 poems from my new anthology of 101 poems. Started off with 'Bottom of the Ottoman'. Then into the environmentally political 'Porpoise Pink Potel' and then rounding off with 'Elvis Powys'. Two of the poems reference a 70s TV programme and a Rock & Roll Singer who died in 1977 so you might well have a point if you rudely comment "You're living in the past". The only contemporary reference was to the dumping of Vanish off the coast of Cornwall. It was a very enjoyable night, a real variety performance and for an affordable £5.00 an example of good practice so congratulations to the organiser and of course thanks for letting me read. So what to the future for the 'Bardd Talcen Slip', the Bard of the Bus Stops ? I'm getting involved with all sorts of things that won't make me any money. There must be a moral in there somewhere!
