#11 Gill Learner - The Agister's Experiment

12/29/12 • 60 min

One of my favourite poets, Gill Learner has been writing poetry since 2001. Her poems have been published in many journals and won a number of awards including the Poetry Society's Hamish Canham Prize 2008. In 2011 she won the Buxton Poetry Competition and in 2012 the English Association Fellows' Poetry Prize with a poem about Charles Dickens. Her first collection 'The Agister's Experiment', published by Two Rivers Press, was launched early in 2011 and has now been reprinted. The Poetry Book Society Bulletin said of it: 'The poems here fizz and crackle while exploring the vast range of humanity ... [and] leave a lasting impression'. For more information and sample poems, go to www.poetrypf.co.uk/gilllearnerpage.shtml. Her collection, The Agister's Experiment is available on Amazon, here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Agisters-Experiment-Gill-Learner/dp/1901677710/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1356801179&sr=8-1

#10 Kris Wilder - Martial Secrets

One more piece of archiving to go on with.
In June 2009 I sat in bed reading Kris Wilder's books thinking, "This guy's amazing, I'd love meet him".
In June 2012 Kris Wilder was staying in that very same room as my house guest.
Spend as much time as you can with your heroes.
Originally recorded as a film soundtrack at Alex Myers' Studio CV34 by Steve Reynolds - thanks man.
