Good morning from Western Australia.
The notion of poetry being 'a form of Quaker plain speaking' speaks strongly to me. Re the recent review here of BBC radio doco 'Listen to them breathing' - I just missed the online deadline to listen again - if anyone saved/recorded it and could share it I'd be grateful.
Along the same lines - having read the review I now can't wait for a collected UA Fanthorpe to arrive by mail and would like to read again her poem 'Friends Meeting House, Frenchay'. At once, or sooner! Can't find online - does anyone have a link or a copy they could share?
Best, Virginia
