Our selection of poems for the October meeting included Laurie Lee’s provocative re-reading of spring in ‘April Rise’; Donald Hall’s ‘Ox Cart Man’, which polarised opinion. Less controversial were ‘A New Song on the Birth of the Prince of Wales’ – a poem with an initially limited publication and originally printed in Preston; W.B. Yeast’s wonderful ‘He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven’; and an extract from Alexander Pope’s entertaining ‘An Epistle from Mr. Pope to Dr. Arbuthnot’. We also heard an amateur piece showing wit and inventiveness: ‘An Evening at the Mansion’ by the young poet Laura Mckenzie.
As usual we will have free choice for our poems for November.
