WOL makes the SUNDAY EXPRESS letters page
My last post described an article by its resident poet in last Sunday's "Sunday Express" - and I
emailed a considered reply.
Those at WOL and its supporters - but especially the excellent John Coopey - may be pleased to
know that today's edition of that national paper carried my letter (only slightly edited) - with references
to WOL and JC's wickedly funny "Ode To Roy" included..
Also - there was another letter from a lady in Sussex making some interesting points about the
control of much of what gets chosen as "poetry" these days. All in all, I thought my £1.40 for a
copy of the 'paper was money well spent today!!
Most gratifying to see poetry via WOL getting the well-deserved oxygen of national publicity.
