The three empty seats were set aside vicariously for you (Isobel), me, and Alvin! Duh... ;-)

Enjoyable review/read Darren.
I also like Billy Collins. I thought it odd that I could only read a little of his work at a time despite enjoying much of it. Maybe there is something more universal in that.
Regards,

Brilliant review - dry, funny, thought provoking and not too reverent... just what you'd expect from DT, really...
Now someone on here needs to write that poem about 'the three empty seats'!

What a grand review Darren! At once both prosaic and wh... No, only kidding, or showing I was listening. This was one of those occasions when I had wished I could have gone to Edinburgh just to see the man, so was delighted and very grateful to have your review as the next best thing; or perhaps even better, given your knowledge of his work.
And you it was who introduced me to his poetry. So, thanks twice.
