Very many thanks again, Adam, for a wonderful evening at the Bakehouse. It was so good to have superb poety read so professionally, by someone who communicated with the audience, not just there for the money! Hope to see you there another time – I’m sure Chrys will invite you again – she was as pleased with the evening as I was. Your father should be very proud of you!!
Best wishes, Helen.
Hi Adam,
Great to see you again, and as we said, let’s swop books. What’s your address? Also, did you poets swop email addresses? If you did, could you let me have Liz Lefroy’s? I want to get a copy of her pamphlet…
Cheers for now,
Peter
Hi Mr
I don’t seem to have an email for you so I’m contacting you via your blog, hope you don’t mind.
I am writing to ask if you would accept a commission? My Dad will be seventy later this year (mid October) and knowing how much he enjoys the written word, and being a lay poet himself, I couldn’t think of a better or more suitable gift.
Please let me know what you think and if its a commission you would accept let me know your day rate or per-word price.
Peace
Gav
