Sue and I didn’t stop talking on our drive back to Wales about what we had heard from both Don and Jacqui and it acted like the proverbial boot/backside connection with both our writing! Thank you.
I also had the pleasure of hearing Don Paterson and Paul Henry reading their work in Chepstow on Saturday (On The Border) GREAT

I loved the workshop with Mr Paterson. I was terribly hungover and had had 3 hours sleep but left refreshed, invigorated and inspired. So, thank you.

I thouroughly enjoyed the workshop with Don. However successfully scared myself to death at the prospectof beinhg an editor…. I don’t like the power and poetry is so subjective in order to cut it you will have to be brilliant and it will not stop me!

Thanks for alerting us to Don’d forthcoming book, though I’d be interested to hear how many fellow magma-naists agree with me that we can learn from poets such as him more directly through absorbing his poems as well as his views on Poetics.
