Bloom's Day
Saturday, June 19, 2004
Celebrated this year at the Royal Station Hotel in Newcastle with sundry poets and literary hangers on - best was Kev Cadwallender the mighty Prophet of Loss reading his McGod poem a spiritual experience and closest to Joyce we got that night (not that you necessarily want to be that close do yer?)with John Hegley next. Mainly because they are funny, don't take themselves too god almighty seriously and are both good poets. Otherwise it was a bit frightening. Can't think you'd want to meet any of those other people on a dark night. Still managed to catch up with the lovely Joan Hewitt, have Chas Brenchley ignore me completely (we have met four times now and I am clearly completely unmemorable) and got a quick chat with Adam Fish (nice shirt, Adam) and Kate Fox - would love to know what they thought of the evening. Was also great to catch up with Nick B and exchange poetry bitchin...
Connie, love, hold that microphone just a bit nearer yer gob ..
