Though his speech is now slurred by the stroke he suffered last year, Morgan's voice is still recognisable as that of the first real poet I ever met, when he lectured to my Ordinary English class at Glasgow Uni in the 60s, and the poems are as telling as ever. I am indebted to this real poet for encouraging me in my writing, and heartened to realise he's as sharp as ever despite failing health and confinement in a nursing home.
Read and enjoy.
Unfortunately I cannot get the video to work - I'd have liked to hear him read.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pity - it's still working fine for me.
ReplyDeleteYou can hear him read on the poetry archive website -
