Here Adrian reads what he called the 21st-century remix of his famous protest poem 'To Whom It May Concern (Tell me lies about Vietnam)'. He first read this poem at an anti-Vietnam War protest in Trafalgar Square in 1964, and kept changing the last verse. It became the title-poem of what will now, sadly, be his final book of poems, TELL ME LIES (Bloodaxe Books, 2009):

This film by Pamela Robertson-Pearce is from the DVD-book IN PERSON: 30 POETS, ed. Neil Astley (Bloodaxe Books, 2008): http://www.bloodaxebooks.com/titlepage.asp?isbn=1852248009
