You going to anything? It's not far from us, I always mean to go but usually forget!
Before you criticise someone try walking a mile in their shoes. Then when you do criticise them, you are a mile away...and you have their shoes.

I'm going on the 30th June. Booked a ticket for Jane Hirshfield and Esther Morgan.

The festival was well worth a visit. Jane Hirshfield was entertaining, though I should have read more of her poems prior to the reading. At the reading I didn't have a clue what her poems were on about most of the time. Esther Morgan was better in that regard. I also went to a reading by Nichola Deane. She was the best on the day for me. I bought her pamphlet. She did poems on landscape, prepositions, and serial killers! The adventure in the content was mirrored in her word choice ( in my opinion).
