Ian McMillan's poem, Goodnight from Him, in memoriam of Ronnie Barker, is our poem of the month. And read Ian's thoughts on performance poetry (and Write Out Loud) on our discussion board.
And Ian is criticised by Susan Dent in her piece on performance poetry, also on the board. "I suspected something was up when a jovial Ian McMillan took to the stage and started talking about poetry as an adjunct of encouragement."
Ooh!
Go see, and have your say!.
Ian is one of the outstanding poets - Roger McGough, Jon Hegley, Brian Patten, Andrew Motion - whose tours are managed by UK Touring: http://www.uktouring.org.uk.
Enjoy!
