Yes, one of them. I also like your Dorothy Parker. What I like about WC is her emotional insight coupled to immaculate craftsmanship. I was in Paris this weekend (can get there from here, too) to attend my uncle's (85) funeral and at dinner in his favourite restaurant afterwards I wrote a villanelle in Dutch which for the benefit of some American relatives I also did in English. It only increased my admiration for her. W
Always in for something new! Yes, she disapproves strongly of copyright infringement. And it must be galling to see your poems so widely distributed on th einternet. On the other hand, seeing you do Smoking (and Summer Villanelle) might induce people to rush out and buy the collection.
In the words of Shirley MacLaine: You can get there from here ... In fact, I once saw Ms Cope perform in London. So if there is an announcement of a performance by you, I would like to see it (both the announcement and the performance).
@dhertog1 You are so kind :) Thank you very much and I will be sure to let you know of any performances although I doubt very much that Wendy Cope's work will be used. I don't actually have her permission to record these little vignettes of mine and I have a sneaky suspicion that she wouldn't readily approve...with regards to copyright etc. :/
i'm compelled to state the obvious...you are an incredibly beautiful looking lady....and whoever it is on the other side of the lense is excellent at capturing what you're throwing towards it.
My god, breathless and extraordinarily captivating. Tone is right up there and as a performer I feel you could knock it higher than the stratosphere let alone blowing the roof off. Incredible!
LloydHywelBevan sent me your way. You have great delivery. Are all these poems by other people or are some yours? It's hard to read you main channel page. Anyway, 5 stars and faved - what a lovely reading...
Thank you for your kind words David. I am grateful to Lloyd for the introduction. None of these poems are my own but a growing collection of some of my favourites of others- my little vignette of essential poems, to fall in love with :)
PS I receive your msg's on my e-mail willem.denhertog@ziggo.nl. If you wish, you could write directly. W

Is there a place I can check when and where?
dhertog1 7 months ago
@dhertog1 You're in Holland? I only perform once in a while and only in England. Thank you for showing an interest.

Dear Ms Learmonth, I knew Wendy Cope of old, but had never seen or heard you recite her poems. I, too, am bowled over. Do you perform in public?
dhertog1 7 months ago
@dhertog1 Thank you. I sometimes perform in public yes.
