Talking as I do on the BBC and as a programme broadcaster myself on the specialist subject of Literature I was interested to hear a programme dedicated to the works of Ezra Pound and it always amazes me that years after all my study and student days of Ezra Pound and TS Eliot I still spark up and tune into the latest reports and coverage on great work.
Little did I know that in those days of 1981 I would be in company with the "Greats" such as Pound and Eliot and that my scribblings would be described as poems of merit.
Its interesting how influential great poets and writers are on one in one's youth and at many a reunion at University I was reminded of my preoccupation with poetry and of course theatre.
Great poets inspire us all and certainly left a permanent influence upon my own eggshell young mind all those years ago ... keep on with the poems .. and poets .. the nation's favourite SM Thompson & the Greats!!!
