Time travel.
Just another snippet on R.P. before I go to London next Tuesday to meet him.
R. P. Lister told CA: "I started writing poetry when I was six. Science attracted me in my boyhood; I wanted to know how the world worked. An interest in people and the arts took over gradually from my teens, and in my early thirties, already contributing poems and articles to British and American periodicals, I took to writing full time. Novels to begin with; then other lifelong interests, history and topography, called for attention, and besides the novels books of travel and history, and even the two combined, demanded to be written. I paint too; I always have, but in recent years it has become a major interest. I have had a one-man show in London and sold a few score of pictures. I should write music too, if I had the time . . . not to mention sculpture, and a few other things. Twenty lifetimes would not suffice for all that cries out to be written, painted, carved, played, sung. But I shall concentrate in time; when I am eighty-five I shall go back to my first love and do nothing but write lyric poems."
