The Basil Bunting Poetry Centre, in colaboration with Colpitts Poetry,
announces a weekend of events to celebrate Bunting's centenary year. Over
the weekend June 23rd-25th 2000 there'll be readings by Roy Fisher, Tom
Raworth, Gael Turnbull, Harriet Tarlo, Colin Simms and Tom Pickard,
there'll also be opportunity to see films of BB, listen to recordings of
him reading, and to make your own reading of his work. There's also some
jazz (with Roy Fisher), some open discussions on aspects of BB's work, and
a performance - by local storyteller Thor Ewing - of Bunting's poem "The
Pious Cat"...
