Celebrating local poets

We’re delighted to be able to spend time with highly accomplished local poets including Andrew Geary and Ray Harper. More information to follow.

Ray Harper,

an otherwise handyman,

fitted for the rigours of the prosaic life;

a kind of maker, builder, mender person,

retired now from remunerative tasks

but not from the uncertainties 

as to what he has been or might become;

confesses

to the occasional lapse

wherein he may succumb

to some preternatural urge

and thus express himself

by poetry.

Words molest him,

talk wrong-foots him,

melodies obsess him.

Oh! And he dances.

He dances tango.

Only tango,

Argentine

Tango.
