I will be addressing the Portsmouth Poetry Society on the subject of Francois Villon on Weds night,
7.30 pm, St. Mark's Church, North End. If you are in the area and have an interest in poetry, please consider yourself invited.
I might be overstating the case a little bit to give a more grandiose impression of what I might be doing. I am no specialist in Medieval French Poetry and what I'll be doing is reading a short prepared introduction, most of which is taken from elsewhere, and hoping that the usual keenness and perspicacity of the PPS members will take the discussion on from there.
There is no new insight due to be delivered that will take Villon Studies into a new era. His name came up last year in a poem and so I took the trouble to look him up and found a character I thought was worthy of further attention. And so that is what we will do.

- David Green (Books) is the imprint under which I publish booklets of my own poems, or did. The 'Collected Poems' are now available as a pdf. The website is now what it has become. It keeps me out of more trouble than it gets me into. I hope you find at least some of it worthwhile.
