I am delighted to have Alex Johnson as special guest here today in a quick revival of our old features Top 6 and My Favourite Poem.
Anybody else who would like to contribute to either, or both, of these quaint parlour games, saying a few words if you wish, please e-mail them in and I'll deal with the avalanche over the weekend.
Favourite poem is, and I'm going to cheat here,
jointly The Roman Centurion's Song by Kipling and the Popular Song from Edith Sitwell's
Façade. Forced to pick one, it would be the Sitwell.
How about my top 6 characters in A Dance to the Music of Time by Anthony
Powell? (my favourite novel)
- Hugh Moreland
- Dr Trelawney
- Pamela Flitton
- Uncle Giles
- General Conyers
- Dicky Umfraville
Alex Johnson is the author of A Book of Book Lists, among other things.
David Green
- David Green (Books) is the imprint under which I published booklets of my own poems. The original allocation of ISBN numbers is used up now, though. The 'Collected Poems' are now available as a pdf. The website is now what it has become, often more about music than books and not so often about poems. It will be about whatever suggests itself.
