We did manage to get through about three or four, I think, in the session, but we don't rush.

We spend time with them.

And that, I think, is one of the joys of the group, the Nothing But The Poem group, is

Spending time with a poem, which feels in this day and age still quite rebellious in a certain way.

Yeah, that spending time together, spending time with a poem, spending time talking about poetry, which in Auden's famous phrase apparently makes nothing happen.

makes a lot of things happen for that hour.

So it's really good.

If you want to join us, you can be a part of it if you become a friend of the Scottish Poetry Library.

The first Friday of the month we meet on Zoom.

I send some poems around and we meet and we talk about them and then we make a podcast from them.

So that's the structure of it.

And I will walk the stacks many more times between now and the next podcast and see who jumps out at me.

So I hope you'll join us again.

And I hope you enjoyed this podcast.

Thank you very much for listening.

Bye-bye.

And I'm delighted to say that I've got two guests with me today.

We've got Valerie Gillis and we've got Sukima, who we're co-collaborating with Lapidus Scotland for this podcast.
