Comment on Homage to Julian Metcalf by Brian Sammond

Great stuff, Tony.

Reading the poem across multiple locations and cross-cutting worked very well.

I’d love to do something like this myself sometime.

I second Nick Holdstock’s sentiments. I have been a long time fan of Ryan’s work, so I look forward to getting to know the work of the other poets. Very well chosen.

Comment on Simon Smith reading in Canterbury tomorrow by Alan Gleave

I very much enjoyed your poem, “Aide-memoire” Your kind of bold-shouldering approach to metaphor reminded me of Rilke, and some of the “Sonnets to Orpheus.” Is he an influence of yours?

I wonder if some of your work is designed to go beyond imagistic impact (powerful as that was in this piece), and engages in the kind of metaphysical struggle to say something apparently discursive and explicit (about the existential reality of art, for example)- knowing that no such statement is ever what it seems…? Do you go in for irony, for example?

Best wishes. Once more my thanks for a poem of imaginative weight, and so carefully weighted in its effects.
