...................................... There was a group reading preceding mine, and that video has just been uploaded. Among the participating poets were Marcus Slease and Paul Ingram. As with the above, all filming was done by Thomas Grimshaw.

Thanks for posting these readings. It was so nice to hear your reading of The State of the Union. Your "un-publishable" poems are much appreciated.
Thanks a lot, George. Much appreciated. I like these apartment readings for their intimacy. We had beer. It was very nice. The Tube had stopped running by the time x larry and I left Paul Ingram's Hackney apartment, however, so we were wandering around in the cold looking for a bus to get back to the city. We stopped at an all-night joint for salt beef on bagel. Across the street, a woman was ready to punch a man. She pushed him again and again. Two other women backed her up. He backed off. It was lovely.
Terrific to hear you read and see you after 10 years!! Really floated around for days. Wish the night were longer. The night is never long enough!! Glad these videos are here from the reading so I listen again as I head into fish and chip Friday.

Yo Marcus,
Yeah, I wish we had a little more time to hang out. It was great to see you.
