Sue McKerracher presented Poetry with an Australian theme + Australian Poets Live

"A bunch of the boys were whooping it up in the Malamute saloon ..."  There is more to American poetry than Dangerous Dan McGrew.  On the eve of American Independence Day, John Darling hosts this evening of American poetry.

People brought their own poems to read, or read their favourite poems, or just came and listened. There was no theme, so this was a poetry ‘Happening’.

Although not organised by the East Coker Poetry Group, this public lecture by The Rev. Dr. Peter Mullen was of great interest and was attended by many members of our group. Peter Mullen is Rector of St Michael’s Cornhill, London and is a regular columnist for the Times, The Sunday Telegraph and Spectator Magazine as well a contributor to radio 4. He has also published several books on theology, philosophy and politics and also a number of novels. He is a lifelong Eliot devotee and enthusiast.

An evening of poetry, supper and conviviality in the Apple Loft Restaurant.
