Poetic news
Matthew d'Ancona 3:08pmTomorrow, I am taking part in the launch of Pass on a Poem, a terrific campaign to encourage the reading and enjoyment of poetry at the Oxfam Bookshop, 170 Portobello Road, London W11. Lots of other readings are set to take place around the country, but this one will feature such luminaries as P.D.James, Jon Snow, Richard Dawkins, Alex James, Joan Bakewell, and Mariella Frostrup – with yours truly making up the numbers. I have to admit that I haven’t decided which poem to read yet, but I’m down to a shortlist of two (Ted Hughes versus Emily Dickinson, ten rounds, two falls or a submission.) Entry is free but they’ll be taking donations for Darfur and Chad. For details phone 0207 727 2907 or 0207 229 9152. Do come along - and no heckling if I get my pentameters in a muddle.
