Kudos! I forgot how great that blog is! Not just the poetry freaks should have a look.

Listen to the deliciously-coarse voice of Richard Burton reading from Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood.

You'll want to double up on the whiskey & cigarettes just to get some of that scrape in your throat.

Evil and dry over the gods You transform tiny dreams against the trees Take cover! The devil has fled So violet beside the trees We command big sounds below the bullshit Ahhh! The bastard will go So quiet in the slime You confound tiny bones beyond the mud Alass, alack! The night keeps going opaque fighting back across the water a phone ringing somewhere To what end the foreigner grow old while the crowd watched

Amanda alias Sabine will be reading some of her poetry at the Art Pub. (Christinenstr./Fehrbellinerstr.)

Haven|t heard of these people yet. They meet at Cafe Lyrik.

Fuelled by cerebral fevers, elapsed dream sequences are driving races lasting a lifetime between buildings on marshlands.

Where marigolds flourish is no mans' land, illuminated by fireflies No woman's garden and no child's playground.

Nights are not just the time for sleep Past injuries start bleeding again, ghosts appear on walls, in future hallucinations of habitable lives, but trophies for adventurous visions, for utopia are

At 17.30 on Sunday 12 March a very special group of people will be bringing their opinions to Another Country to talk about their ideal poetry group. What can a poetry group do for me? How can I share and receive criticism to make my poetry better? What kinds of devices are used in good poetry? These and other exemplary questions will be discussed. Plans for future meetings will also be put in motion. Come along - perhaps bring a new poem to share.
