Thanks - this reminds me to buy the paper! I keep forgetting on a Saturday.
Oliver, you should try and hear Ciaran Carson read, he's from your neck of the woods and he's wonderful. I don't know how much reading he does.
I once sat in a workshop with Nick Laird - he brought a poem to share, read it, and when asked about it told us it had already won a competition! Never came back, either. Ah well - his first book is out in the spring from Faber.
And the name John Montague is new to me, so I'll read the article with interest.
Ta,
KEB
