Here is another video from the Sheppard Symposium evening
reading. It’s James Byrne. Let's pause: James was the instigator and guiding light of the Symposium (although he had a hard-working committee to realise his 'vision') and I am eternally thankful for his support on this (and other occasions). Here he reads his fine 'twentieth century' poem and also an account of he and I encountering Van Valckenborch in a Liverpool pub.
My own reading from ‘Break Out’ and the work in progress
‘Hap: Understudies of Thomas Wyatt’s Petrarch’ may be viewed here:
