James Fenton is one of the most gifted contemporary poets, at least in the English language. He understands that language must sing, if it is to be true poetry. Where, by the way, was this festival?
The description informs that this took place in the UK. I agree that not only is he one of the best poets of our time but also exceptionally gifted at reciting his poetry, a gift which many fellow poets cannot boast. Do you have any idea where one can find a reading of his "Jerusalem"?
