With me I have two accents and I combine to say nothing in either one as I am going to do now!
How many times do you
meet people whose whole linguistic outpouring is completely
devoid of any meaning. I decided to stamp it out and get on with the day and clarify
the position : reiterate the meaning : pronouns being the best part of grammar and skip verbs altogether. However, it was a way towards modern
poetry writing and the reason is I suppose even academics insist I speak with the classic British accent. I feel like the great English actress and I put it all down to my training in Dublin where if you live there ... you find out quickly enough how to speak the best English and I obviously do that, but I am taking a rest from years of talking and doing a little bit of writing. Needless to say I also trained in England ... so there you have it ...
Surprise! Surprise! I was overjoyed to receive the Silver Pen for Poetry from
The Europa Hotel in Belfast Northern Ireland in 2004 for what up to that point in time I loosely referred to as my scribbling. Now its my great poems and poetry that have been publicly
awarded and
recognized!. Its truly a great honour to be recognized as a Poet especially in English ... Warm wishes to the Europa Hotel in Belfast Northern Ireland and "thanks" for it all ... great hotel, great company and grateful for the Silver Pen for Poetry in 2004 ... wow!
