December meeting

Nine poets met for a great workshop last week.

Our next workshop, the last before the new year, will be on Weds Dec 7th, at Bank Street as usual. As time always seems to be tight, we're going to vary arrangements a little this time. Please arrive around 11.45 if you want to eat or chat generally, then we should be able to begin on at 12.00 on the dot. We'll continue the workshop till 2.40, sharing the time as equitably as possible.

Then at 2.40 we'll begin the book discussion, and continue till around 3.15, if people wish to.

This time we've chosen Tomas Transtromer in the translation by Robin Robertson. (You can order this through Blackwells if you need to). If you can't get this translation, there's another good collection translated by Robin Fulton. These are very different translations, but we can always incorporate discussion of the differences of translation in the workshop.
On a separate note, I'd like to invite contributions to the second issue of Antiphon. Rosemary and I were really pleased with the number of readers and the very positive feedback on the first issues, so we want Issue #2 to be even better (and hopefully bigger, too). See antiphon.org.uk
