Rose Keheller posted this comment as an aside on Deep End a few hours ago:
(OT note: Just a few hours ago I dreamed they had West Chester in Scotland, and we were all there, some of us sitting in the grass near a lake while others were swimming. And I was saying such scintillating things as, "Wow, this is so weird, I can't believe I'm in Scotland!" while drinking red wine from the bottle.)
My questions are - why can't there be a UK equivalent to West Chester?
If there was, who do people see as leading UK metrical poets able to lead workshops?
Where would be your ideal venue?
I can only but admire the tenacity of some of the spartan-minded poets in Rose's dream...swimming in a Scottish lake (Loch). We're a tough lot we formalists!
On a serious note, I do think Poetry UK PLC is more resistant to metrical verse than in the USA. I have more success in US magasines than British.
