One of the
UK’s most treasured poets, Michael Horovitz, gets in touch to tell me of his
upcoming London event POEM! 2012 at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank Centre,
on June 14, 2012, from 7pm.
Michael says of the occasion: “For me, the Olympic ideal has never been about competition. It is about celebration, cultural achievement, sporting achievement, the declaration and achieving of peace and accord between nations. I founded the Poetry Olympics in 1980, partly in response to British athletes being called upon by the Government to boycott the Moscow Olympics that year. The primary aim of the Poetry Olympics was and remains the Healing of the Nations and transformation of the atmosphere of artistic and social aspirations from competitiveness to communality. If we can even begin to achieve that through bringing these great poets, performers and musicians together in the Queen Elizabeth Hall for one heaven of a party, so much the better.”

Reassuring not to see Madame has now adopted the role of promoter/publicist.
I find these things (roles) go in phases. Life is so exciting.
This is an event worth promoting
I blame the curtains. Ever since you put them up MA you've become whimsical and odd(er).
Very 20th century
Anyone who digs Madame Arcati will enjoy P O E M! 2012, aka The COUNTER-Cultural Olympiad @ Queen Lizzie's Hall on 14 June - as for the rest of you, as Our Lady of Blithe Spirits quoth, be off to Corporate Philistia & quit these visionary sites
Was that a Horowitz counter-poem? Or one of Molly's . .
Yer wha'?
I love Madame for this. Where else?
This is an event worth promoting
worth the admission price just to see Steven Berkoff. Brilliant when he's on a roll.
