Its Saturday again and I tuned into the
famous people slot at 10 in the morning with
Sandy in the chair and Michael Palin and companion who does what he does ...if like me you listen rather than read ... then the famous person such as Michael Palin will take over in your life . . and the less famous competitors will take a back seat.
Himalaya and the Pole to Pope
series as Sandy mentioned are great favourites on DVD TV at home and abroad and I was truly pushed hard by my students to attend Michael Palin''s Book Signing which was well attended in Northern Ireland and I saw how popular Michael Palin was and is and how he managed to make difficult subjects popular ... rather like the course I am on at the moment in the "field
work"sense of popularising
poetry .. and taking up the position of poetry tutor online or as "field work" ...
Back to BBC Radio 4 with Michael Palin ... who has a brand new series out on Europe .. and features the former Soviet bloc
countries ... I suppose the places near or close to where I used to work ... behind the Iron Curtain ... the former Soviet Communist Countries ... Eastern and Central Europe ... Michael Palin speaks enthusiastically about his new series and long may Palin continue to popularise travel and good relations between the West and the East. Sandy and Michael and the other guy in the seat touched down on Turkey which is ... in Europe ... and Asia ... but is not getting acceptance to join our E.U. unlike some of the former Soviet countries after the Fall of Communist about 1989 onwards ...
I was so inspired by Himalaya Series that I bought the book and was recently invited to write a poem for PEN HIMALAYA in Nepal and my poem: Darkest Night ... is now published on website: www.penhimalaya.com ... excellent broadcasting and excellent
poetry ... included as a Contributor with others in Pen Himalaya Nepal ... Thanks to the Editor ... great stuff .. keep on reading ...
